THE KC BRIEF01 / 03
STRATEGY / THE BIG PICTURE
Good solutions start with the right question.
At Accenture and on a SOCIAL x BCG project, I worked with business problems, data and stakeholders to turn ambiguity into a clearer way forward.
ACCENTURE · BCG · CASE COMPETITIONS
WHY KC? / BEYOND THE BRIEF
A curious mind.
A few more dimensions.
The experience tells you what I’ve done. Here’s a little more about who you’d be working with.
Connecting the dots.
Then making things happen.
I bring software engineering training, practical fintech experience at Ant International, and consulting experience through Accenture and SOCIAL Consult × BCG.
I enjoy moving between the big picture and the details: understanding the business problem, exploring what technology can do, and working with people to make an idea practical.

02 / OFF THE CLOCKA FEW THINGS I LOVE ↘
THRILLERS & SCIENCE FICTIONOne more plot twist.
I love watching thrillers and science fiction. Give me a mystery to unravel or a whole new world to get lost in, and I’m happy.
SHARK TANKWould you invest?
Shark Tank is on my watchlist too. I enjoy seeing an idea turn into a pitch. The questions from investors are my favourite part, especially when they challenge how the business actually works.
NEAR NATUREA little room to breathe.
I love taking a break somewhere close to nature. Miri, my hometown in Sarawak, is one example of the kind of place I enjoy: fresh air, a quieter setting, and room to recharge.
