I completed tertiary and post graduate studies in Australia and several other countries. I have travelled and lived in a number of countries, affording me a broad cultural perspective and many opportunities for learning and friendship.
Over the last 44 years I have worked both within Australia and overseas in multiple fields. These include commercial, academic / research, not for profit and health.
Throughout the years I have sat on and / or advised multiple Committees and Boards of both public and private institutions within Australia and elsewhere across wide-ranging areas of interests and activities.
I enjoy learning from others and sharing what knowledge and experience I have with individuals and organisations as I am able and when asked either in a general, professional or mentoring capacity.
When time allows, I have a wide range of cultural, social and sporting interests.
I regard myself as open minded and constantly learning. I believe that sharing knowledge and friendship is a great responsibility and privilege.
I am a proactive, driven and highly accomplished Sales and Marketing Manager recognised for strategic ingenuity and insight in business and leadership. I have a 15-year track record of solid Business Development, Account Management, New Account Acquisition and Relationship Management gained from numerous years of experience across my earlier years in fashion, publishing, tech, events, advertising, and legal sectors in APAC and EMEA. I thrive in mentoring teams, driving strategic objectives in business excellence, and transforming nascent ideas into productive and rewarding results.
In an environment with constantly changing demands, I stand among leaders who drive the progress of continuous improvement by utilising superior analytical skills and effective organisational management. I am highly adept at delivering quality improvements and process optimisations to accelerate overall business success. I am a strategic thinker who thrives on being an integral part of planning and direction setting to improve processes, drive performance and growth, achieve positive results and ensure continued success.
I am articulate, pragmatic, commercially minded, analytical and solutions-focused, with exceptional drive and enthusiasm. My years of experience in collaborating with stakeholders at every level have improved my natural interpersonal and leadership skills, further enabling me to empower and reinvigorate clients and teams in achieving objectives. I have a passion for international trade and culture and would like to focus on developing successful partnerships for the AABC.
My passion for service marketing can be traced back to my pre-professional days. Whether as a member of my high school performance team, or part of the leadership team at a sea scout group. I have been on a service marketing path from the start. The reason? I like getting people excited about the things I am excited about. Right now, that’s Asian Australian Business Council (AABC).
Outside of the office, I am committed to education. I am a trained radio presenter and a public relations officer, and am always looking to brush up my public speaking skills over coffee or drinks. If you challenge me to Australian business trivia, my Team will win.
I am currently trying my hand at (very amateur) video editing. I live the sweaty life and will probably “market” you to join me for a fashion styling class or a charity run. Connect with me over Linkedin for networking or business opportunities, and more!
