About Dowan

I'm currently the CEO of Kimtan Labs, a profitable omni-channel FMCG business operating multiple brands across multiple countries in Southeast Asia. I previously spent 12+ years in a corporate career at Goldman Sachs --> Google --> TikTok in varying leadership positions. During those 12 years, I was able to build multiple 7-figure side hustles, which I parlayed into a full time job. Kimtan Labs today is one of the fastest growing FMCG businesses in Southeast Asia, and is valued in the 8-figure range.

Why do I coach?

I speak with a lot of early career professionals or students, who aspire to create economic security and ultimately become their own boss. It took me 12 grueling years, with regular 80+ hour weeks. It's a long, lonely journey. I'd like to help people going through the same journey.
