2008 — 16FIS Sales & pre-salesEight years selling electronic trading and risk systems to banks and brokers across APAC.YuniqueS advises a select number of companies starting or scaling e-commerce. The advice comes from operating, not theory: nine years running our own stores, an agency's worth of paid-media spend, and the unglamorous parts — logistics, support, cash flow.
Recent work includes helping an established consumer brand stand up its e-commerce operation from scratch. Engagements are scoped, hands-on and honest about what will and won't move the needle.
I'm Van David Thai, founder of YuniqueS — a Solvay-trained economist with nearly twenty years on the commercial side of technology. Eight years selling electronic trading systems to financial institutions, then nine years founding and scaling my own consumer businesses, leading teams of 20+ across product, marketing, operations and supply chain.
Since 2025 I build AI products full-time, working with AI daily — designing, coding and shipping with it. YuniqueS Ltd is the company behind that work: the products above, and advisory engagements where our operating experience is useful.
