ABOUT

A researcher's instinct, applied to pipelines

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Tourism Management, where the coursework was about understanding what a traveler actually needs before recommending anything. That same instinct — dig until you actually understand who you're talking to — is what I bring to lead research now.

Years of sourcing, verifying, and organizing B2B contacts taught me that a "lead" isn't useful until it's confirmed real, tagged correctly, and sitting somewhere the sales team can actually use it. That's the standard I hold every list to.

Based in the Philippines, working async-friendly across time zones, and comfortable owning a CRM end to end — not just filling it.
