What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior communications leadership role where I can own global PR and content strategy, lead agency governance and executive messaging, and grow brand reputation through integrated digital campaigns and measurable demand generation.

I’m a Strategic Communications Executive with 17 years of leadership across Corporate Communications, Public Relations, and growth-driven content strategy for global enterprises and Fortune 500 brands. I build integrated narratives that align executive messaging and brand positioning with business priorities across APAC, EMEA, and North America.

My work consistently turns communication into measurable momentum—spearheading initiatives that increased global earned media coverage by 1,000% and grew platform readership to 50,000 across 100 countries. I lead agency governance and translate strategy into execution across digital ecosystems, including social media, websites, events, webinars, and owned channels.

Across my roles, I’ve driven media relations, external communications, and stakeholder-driven leadership visibility—while strengthening brand reputation management through consistent earned media amplification and cross-functional collaboration. I also design demand generation and ABM programs that connect messaging to high-intent audiences from discovery to purchase.

I enjoy pairing editorial and marketing rigor—developing narratives, optimizing content, and applying Gen AI content strategy where it elevates brand storytelling. I’m at my best when guiding teams through complex communication roadmaps, setting direction, and delivering campaigns that scale globally.
