I Build Things

  • I build diverse, innovative, resilient teams from scratch.

  • I build engaging, authentic brands that make an impact.

  • I build fresh, unique and impactful media products.

  • I build communities that Asia’s most influential young leaders want to be a part of.

I am a highly digitally literate content strategist and journalist, utilising a blend of data and old-fashioned creative storytelling magic to help brands engage target audiences.

I use design thinking to build media products that answer audience needs, developing unique, monetisable digital products—from podcasts to online learning courses—to grow user bases and diversify revenue streams.

I lead purpose-driven communities. As a brand ambassador and in-demand public speaker, I build community around some of Asia’s most influential business and cultural leaders.

A recognised media leader

I was humbled to be selected as a Young Media Leader 2020 by WAN-IFRA, the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers.

The programme both identifies and “nurtures the next generation of media leaders”. I learned a lot during the six-month fellowship, particularly how to build newsrooms and products that are unique, scalable and meet audience needs.

I was recently featured on the So This Is My Why podcast, where I discussed my life and career with host Ling Yah. Listen to the episode for more background on me and my work.
