What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, innovation, and strategic partnerships.

As the Managing Director of Paul & Marigold, I have led significant business expansion initiatives across Southeast Asia and South Asia since 2013. My role encompasses complete profit accountability, where I have successfully secured clients in key markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. My extensive travel and understanding of the Asian markets enable me to implement effective growth strategies and develop comprehensive business development plans that capitalize on our strengths while addressing weaknesses.

My passion lies in Business Development, Sales, Corporate Communications, and Stakeholder Engagement. I thrive as a motivated and resourceful leader, possessing a diverse skill set that includes client servicing, project management, and brand management. I am committed to driving revenue expansion and strengthening client relationships, leveraging my in-depth knowledge of the Southeast Asian region to open doors and create lasting partnerships.
