Muhammad Izam Buhan

At QS, I manage operations for a global creative studio across APAC, EMEA and Latin America, directing creative strategy and production for 13+ annual global summits. My work on the flagship QS APAC Summit supported £2M+ in 2025 revenue through sponsorship and delegate growth.

I've scaled summit sponsorship revenue from £429K in 2019 to £2M+ in 2025 while building AI-assisted workflows, template systems and modular design systems. These improvements reduced repetitive tasks by 25%, cut production timelines by 30%, and reduced cross-regional feedback loops by 40%.

Before QS, I established the creative function at ZALORA Malaysia during its high-growth launch phase, creating visual systems, reusable templates and asset libraries that improved production efficiency by 35%. I also led corporate identity, activation and event work at Alhaya Brandworks, managing designers, client relationships and creative delivery.

I bring 17+ years across design leadership, brand production, workflow systems and digital creative execution. I pair an MBA in AI with hands-on experience in creative direction, operational planning, team development and brand consistency.
