Founder at Signal Eight
This is a solo entry. I came up with the concept and full implementation.
I'm a seasoned founder, entrepreneur and sales leader with 15 years of experience in enterprise and strategic account leadership across FinTech and RegTech. At Bloomberg, I led the go-to-market strategy for AI-powered analytics and data products, driving product adoption for advanced investment analytics leveraging AI and Machine Learning for Bond Liquidity. My expertise spans client engagement, cloud and data technology sales, and regulatory and risk analytics. Most recently I founded Signal Eight, an AI company providing AI Consulting, Training and building AI Native SaaS products. I am also the Co-Founder of a Hong Kong Plant-Based food business called Plant-Based Crew Limited.
I’m interested in connecting with AI builders, founders, and product thinkers working on AI-native productivity tools and novel human–AI interfaces. I’m particularly keen to explore collaborations in building lightweight, chat-first SaaS products that serve solopreneurs and small teams. Always open to learning about innovative use cases for AI in CRM, GTM automation and B2B SaaS. I’m also exploring how game mechanics can improve engagement in workflow tools.
Building an AI-native Sales CRM designed for solopreneurs and small teams. Core focus: natural language interfaces, interaction logging, task management, and pipeline tracking. Built with Next.js, (coded in typescript) Tailwind, Supabase, Drizzle ORM, Vercel AI SDK, Clerk, Stripe, and Vercel. Tinkering daily with OpenAI (o3 models and Codex) , Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and more to explore better UX, intelligent workflows, and chat-first productivity for B2B sales.
