Summary

Proven administrator with a track record of spearheading initiatives that enabled Asia Pacific Eppendorf product sales to grow from 16% of world Eppendorf sales to more than 33% during the duration that I served. In a previous sales management role, I enabled the life sciences division to grow from the bottom of 6 figures to 8 figures in research equipment sales in Malaysia. After a 6-year hiatus during which I studied stock market trading strategies and assisted a personal acquaintance in administrative duties, I now, even as I have just attained retirement age in Malaysia seek to expand my services in administrator or management roles.
