On a limited budget, Zhenni built a global team by recruiting top talent from local universities and partnering with nonprofits aiding talented immigrants. In two years, she trained 30 interns, with 18 landing roles at startups, VCs, and corporations like Pale Blue Dot, Accelerace, Sony, Lynk & Co, and Volvo Group. Additionally, she secured funding for 3 full-time positions. Sharing these stories aims to spotlight global talent's potential and encourage their broader support in the industry.

Earlier 2022, Zhenni recruited Belinda Kaur via Jobbsprånget platform to join Skåne Startups to support marketing analytics. After taking a career break to prioritize family, Belinda has returned with an unwavering determination to succeed in her work.  She approaches her work with precision and thoroughness. She brings a sense of positivity and joy to the team.

I am a mother of 3 beautiful angels. I find positivity in every situation. Moving to the Nordics has given me the opportunity to look at things differently. I'm also a detailed oriented person which leads to good observation and decision-making.

What's your ovearall background?

I worked in the banking industry in Malaysia for 5 years as an experienced credit risk analyst. In my credit risk analyst role, I exercised a calculated and methodical approach to problem-solving.

Additionally, I am knowledgeable in risk validating and I have amazing communication, decision-making, and customer service skills. I was also awarded two awards, Mortgage Service Guarantee Award and Customer Banking Star Award- International Value Award during my role.

What was your role at Skåne Startups?

I'm responsible for the marketing data analysis. Specifically, I have completed LinkedIn page analysis for Skåne Startups in the past 24 months and offered solutions and suggestions for improvement.

Based on my observation we have a wide range of international talent who are in Skåne, at the same time we continue to share stories of our events, startup communities' news, and founders' stories which have gained a lot of attention from locals and the international crowd. Our data shows people like what we do, and they support our activities.
