What I'm looking for

I seek a role that emphasizes sustainability and impactful partnerships, fostering growth.

With over 18 years of experience in sales and marketing, I have established myself as a Senior Manager in the partnerships industry, particularly within the sports, events, and entertainment sectors. My extensive background includes closing over US$30M in business across Southeast Asia, where I have successfully navigated complex global sponsorship deals and brand activations. My passion for sustainability drives my work, particularly in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) projects, where I strive to create impactful initiatives that align with corporate values.

Throughout my career, I have held pivotal roles, including Head of Marketing & Sustainability at Minor Hotels, where I lead strategic alliances and manage ESG initiatives. My experience also includes representing Sony Pictures in the APAC region, negotiating partnerships that enhance brand visibility and drive marketing campaigns. Notable achievements include my role as an advocate for Ocean Hero Conservation, where I promote the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on reducing plastic waste in our oceans.
