Employment
Experience
- Technology and Development Transfer from Germany to South East Asia
I handled the project and software development migration from Berlin to Singapore, which included building up and training the IT department and working as a consultant to ensure common best practices were applied. We brought the code and knowledge to Singapore and the technology culture as well.
- Bootstrapping Lendico Germanyhttp://www.lendico.de
I handled this project from scratch to delivery in three months. This included planning, developing, and launching the peer-to-peer credit platform Lendico Germany. Lendico was an enormously successful venture under the accelerator Rocket Internet and was later sold to ING bank.
