Who I am. I am a Myanmar-born entrepreneur, educator, author, strategic consultant, and business-system builder. My work revolves around one central question: how can entrepreneurs build better businesses, better systems, and better lives using strategy, technology, AI, and leverage?

I started my professional journey in medicine before moving into the corporate world with Roche. I later entered entrepreneurship, founding New Sky Mobile in 2014 and YEC Learning Center in 2015.

Over the past decade, my journey has expanded across education, consulting, training, technology, AI, e-commerce, content, and business building.

Learn. Experiment. Share.

I learn ideas, test them in the real world, turn what works into frameworks and systems, and share them with entrepreneurs and leaders.

What I Do

Strategic Thinking
Helping leaders understand reality, make better decisions, position intelligently, and choose worthwhile games.
Business Systems
Helping founders transform owner-dependent companies into businesses that operate through people, processes, technology, and management systems.

Marketing & Growth
Positioning, customer psychology, offers, content, sales systems, and scalable customer acquisition.
Entrepreneurship & Management
