What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead insight programs (brand health, incidence, post-launch) and translate consumer intelligence into portfolio, communication and growth decisions, partnering closely with cross-functional stakeholders and senior leadership.

I’m a Consumer Insights Manager with 8+ years of experience across FMCG, Tobacco, Food & Beverage and Retail, delivering insight-led business strategies across Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia and APMEA South. I specialize in Brand Health Tracking, Incidence Studies, Consumer Segmentation, Product Testing and Post-Launch Evaluation—turning consumer, market and commercial performance data into clear recommendations.

In my current role at British American Tobacco / Systems Limited, I lead consumer insight programs across Malaysia and Indonesia supporting strategic decisions for 6+ brands across multiple product categories. I manage relationships with 3+ research agencies (including Kantar and IPSOS), partner with Marketing, Commercial, Deployment and Data Analytics, and present insight-led recommendations to senior leadership to influence portfolio, communication and growth strategies. I’ve also progressed from Consumer Insights Executive to Consumer Insights Manager, and I’m passionate about stakeholder management, agency leadership, and strategic storytelling that drives real business outcomes.
