About me: Before joining LBS, I worked as an associate on the business intelligence (BI) team at Shopee, South east Asia’s leading eCommerce platform. I help oversee the monthly allocation of budgets exceeding $100 million across key departments such as category management, marketing and logistics. This supports initiatives like rebates, vouchers and large-scale campaigns designed to drive sustainable platform growth and strengthen Shopee’s competitive position. My responsibilities revolve around financial projections, performance tracking and P&L forecasting, requiring the integration of advanced data analytics with financial modelling to guide strategic decisions.
After graduating from Chulalongkorn University with a BBA in Financial Analysis and Investment, I set out to explore different areas of finance – from wealth management to asset management and financial planning and analysis. Each experience offered me a distinct perspective on how capital can be mobilised to create value: from advising clients and managing portfolios to structuring deals and optimising large-scale budgets.
Working in financial planning and analysis within a fast-paced tech environment has been a steep learning curve for me, bridging financial modelling with real-world implementation. I have come to value the importance of analytical precision, adaptability and cross-functional collaboration.
At LBS, I’m eager to exchange ideas and share my experience with others, representing the minority of MiFFT students who come from technology-driven backgrounds.
Outside of the programme, I enjoy exploring new matcha cafés around London and attending indoor cycling classes.
Three topics I can be approached about: Finance roles in the tech sector; matcha cafés and indoor cycling around London; women’s leadership in finance and technology.
