Singapore · Est. 2003

I build the plumbing of capital markets.

I am Chief Executive of the Capital Markets Solutions business at Contemi, where we operate Nova CMX — a multi-asset, multi-market post-trade platform used by Tier-I sell-side brokers, bank brokerages, and investment banks across South-East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the UK, and Europe.

My work is unglamorous by design: clearing, settlement, risk control, compliance, resilience. The systems no one sees until they stop working. I try to make them quieter, faster, and harder to break.

Currently Leading the Nova CMX platform roadmap  ·  Based in Singapore

Contemi — Capital Markets Solutions

Chief Executive, CMS  ·  2020 — Present

I took on a stagnant business unit and rebuilt it into the growth engine of the group. The platform had good bones. It needed direction, discipline, and a commercial backbone.

  • Doubled revenue and multiplied EBITDA twelvefold within three years.
  • Turned around three businesses — Dion India, Wealth Management, and Nova — from loss-making or flat to profitable and compounding.
  • Extended the platform into ANZ and the UK while deepening the Asian footprint.
  • Embedded AI-assisted QA, RPA, and SOC 2 Type II readiness into the delivery stack.
