Self introduction
With extensive hands-on experiences in management, data business strategy and planning, and data analytics, I have assisted companies at various stages (3 early-stage startups, 2 mature startups, 2 enterprises) for about 9 years. The verticals/services I worked for include food marketplace and delivery, wellness and heath improvement, chat-based travel concierge, massive data transfer, e-commerce, and more. And the areas at those companies I helped are strategic planning and budget control, lead and demand generation, online marketing tactics execution, data analytics with statistics and machine learning, staff hiring and team building.
Ambition
There are three things I would like to pursue for the next 5 years:
With the power of data analytics and technologies, I would like to
1. Navigate supply chains to be the system with optimal throughputs and least waste of resources with the ideas of open innovation and gig economy
2. Generate diversified revenue streams by introducing on-demand charge-based matching platforms
3. Construct a chain of systems to bring the poor closer to goods and relevant information
