What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my storytelling skills to drive brand engagement and growth.

As a seasoned communications manager with over 14 years of experience, I specialize in transforming complex ideas into compelling narratives that resonate with audiences. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving engagement through innovative marketing strategies, including PR, social media, and content development. I take pride in building brands that people love and crafting campaigns that exceed expectations.

Currently, I lead regional communications for Riot Games in India and South Asia, where I have successfully scaled our social media presence and built a vibrant community of over 100,000 players. My previous roles have allowed me to partner with diverse brands across Asia and Europe, helping them establish their identities and messaging in competitive markets. I thrive on collaboration, working closely with cross-functional teams to create impactful content that aligns with both local and global brand strategies.
