About
Co-founder of Creato & Glide
"People, product, profit" is my favourite motto in running and building startups. I love to build and be in a team environment to solve problems and achieve collective success together. Co-founded Glide in 2020 amid covid, we built a 13,000+ travel community and a local activities booking platform with 6-figure MoM revenue. One thing led to another. In 2022, we started building Creato, a learning academy to bring creative expertises onboard to upskill individual and business to thrive in the rising creator economy. We also built an AI tool - Creato lens to helps creatives make data-backed decision in creating content. Born and raised in Hong Kong & UK, lived & worked in Tanzania & Australia.
