About me

Experienced leader with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing and advertising industry. Strong business development professional skilled in Marketing Management, Digital Strategy, Customer Insight, Advertising, and Integrated Marketing.

Being the youngest Chief Executive in Malaysia does come with its set of challenges but what I need to prove with my business insight as well as foresight; I delight with my fresh approach to marketing and communications.
