About Gloria

Leveraging Global Experience to Empower Business Growth
I am a global business strategist with 20 years of diverse experience across global markets. Holding an MBA from INSEAD and a background in the technology, investment, and insurance sectors, I specialize in helping startups and growth-stage companies scale and succeed. Throughout my career, I have worked with top-tier companies like HP, Intel, Aviva, and a sovereign wealth fund, driving strategic initiatives in venture building, e-commerce, and AI strategy development.
I focus on helping businesses craft compelling fundraising narratives, sharpen their product offering, refine market positioning, and build practical go-to-market strategies — all shaped by years of cross-industry experience. I collaborate closely with founders and leadership teams to solve real-world challenges through strategic insight, clear decision pathways, and executional follow-through.
What distinguishes my approach is the path I’ve taken — building over a decade of frontline execution experience before deepening my expertise in strategic frameworks. This foundation enables me to bridge vision and implementation, translating strategy into actionable plans grounded in operational reality, business fluency, and financial rigor.

Testimonials
“Thanks to Gloria, I took my first real vacation — because the company could finally run without me. Her impact on our team, story, and growth strategy was lasting.”
— Founder, MedTech Startup
“What set Gloria apart was her rare mix of computer science, CFA-level financial depth, and the kind of strategic storytelling you’d expect from a top-tier private equity firm. She turned our complex fund into a clear, investor-ready narrative.”
— Founder, Hong Kong-based AI Trading Fund
"Gloria played a critical role in our growth journey — aligning teams across Singapore and San Diego, driving OKRs, and integrating strategy with execution. She brought clarity to ambiguity, helped translate leadership vision into tangible outcomes, and accelerated commercialization of our AI platform. Her work strengthened our operations, energized cross-functional teams, and improved decision-making across the board. Gloria was a unifying force across functions, cultures, and leadership layers — the kind of partner every scaling tech company needs."
— Senior Director, Singapore-based Industrial AI Software Company
