About

The scientist who learned that good science alone is never enough.

PhD in Bioprocess Engineering. WIPO Gold Medal inventor. Co-holder of 20+ international patents. And someone who spent a decade discovering that the real gap was never scientific — it was commercial.

My Journey

From pivot to purpose.

Three years. Three defining chapters. This is how I went from almost giving up to building two companies — and why the journey is embedded in every product I help you build.

2023 The Pivot Year
From My Brand to Many Brands

The year everything changed direction.

I almost gave up. "I just can't make it. I'm not good enough. I want to give up." These were real thoughts. A business network changed my trajectory — I learned from leaders, joined the leadership team, grew into a regional support role, and discovered my real calling: helping other brands succeed. I learned to give without remembering, and receive without forgetting.

2024 Growth and Risk
Entering a Bigger Arena

Proving that science and business belong together.

I competed in the 2024 China Innovation Competition (深圳) and reached the semi-finals — representing Malaysia on an international stage. Won the 7th Women Glamour Award for young female influence. It was not just about winning. It was about proving that science and business belong together. The global wellness economy is $6.8 trillion — and moats matter more than ever in a fast-growing market.

2025 Year of Change
Shaping What Is Next

Two platforms. One mission.

Vinova Sciences Sdn. Bhd. launched — a full commercialisation ecosystem for brand owners and KOLs. Dr. Weeting Solutions continues serving founders directly. Two platforms. One mission: revenue growth decoupled from headcount. Product income scales through distribution, not people. The 2-Lane Growth Model — applied to my own business first.

"Learn faster. Seek insights. Copy shamelessly."
On learning and acceleration
"Give without remembering. Receive without forgetting."
On relationships and business
"Trust builds business. Insight builds growth."
On long-term value creation
Credentials

The scientist behind the work.

A PhD scientist who spent a decade learning that the lab is not enough — and built the commercial capability to close that gap.

🎓
PhD
Bioprocess Engineering · Universiti Putra Malaysia
Specialising in food science, biomaterials, microencapsulation, and nanoemulsification.
🔬
20+
International Patents
Co-held with Dr. Nicholas Khong Mun Hoe across 4 sectors. Filed under MyIPO Malaysia with international coverage.
💊
200+
Pharmacies — Malaysia and Singapore
Previous venture: non-steroidal skincare range scaled to 200+ pharmacy outlets across both markets.
🌿
MPOB
Malaysian Palm Oil Board Partnership
Tocotrienol extraction, palm bioactives, and sustainable processing technologies.

I completed my PhD in Bioprocess Engineering at Universiti Putra Malaysia, specialising in food science and biomaterials. In the years that followed, I co-invented 20+ patents with Dr. Nicholas Khong Mun Hoe — and discovered that patents sitting in a drawer help nobody.


The real gap was never scientific. It was commercial. Most founders with great ideas — and most scientists with real innovation — get stranded between the lab and the market. Formulation without regulatory strategy. Regulatory without manufacturing. Manufacturing without claims. Claims without a channel strategy. I now exist specifically to close that gap — as the single person who connects all four, because the path from science to shelf requires all four simultaneously.

A hidden superpower

Built over thousands of hours in the lab.

70–95%
Sensory evaluation accuracy — identifying food profiles and processing methods without instruments.

I can identify food profiles and processing methods at 70–95% accuracy through sensory evaluation alone — without instruments. This is not a party trick.

It is a skill built across years of hands-on product development that means when I engineer your manufactured product, I can tell when it is wrong before any instrument measures it.

For F&B brands trying to scale, this is the difference between a product that tastes like the original and one that clearly came from a factory.

Marketing gets trials. Product quality gets repeat purchase. Repeat purchase protects profit.
