How I Think About Work, Leadership, and Systems
I work at the intersection of technology, leadership, and visibility.Across highly technical environments, expertise alone is rarely enough. Systems determine who is seen, credited, and elevated. I study how structures, narratives, and organizational design shape participation and progression.My perspective is shaped by years spent inside complex environments — manufacturing floors, executive teams, research ecosystems, and cross-sector partnerships where outcomes are determined by structure, narrative, and decision-making context.This thinking informs my work across leadership advisory, workforce design, and materials innovation.
Grounded in Practice, Not Theory
Industry and workforce leadership in multi-stakeholder environments
My career has been grounded in real systems from semiconductor fabs to university ecosystems and industry coalitions.As a USA Eisenhower Fellow, I studied workforce and education systems across Asia, deepening my focus on how visibility, narrative, and system design shape participation and advancement in STEM.That experience reinforced a core belief: durable progress comes from designing systems that make expertise legible, pathways explicit, and leadership attainable rather than asking individuals alone to compensate for structural gaps.This systems perspective shapes how I approach leadership, workforce design, and technical ecosystems today.
