DIGITAL MARKETING LEADER

 Building Digital Growth Engines Across Southeast Asia

13 years across renewable energy, insurtech, finance, entertainment & tourism

Most digital marketing teams get either strategy or execution. Rarely both. I’ve spent 13 years doing both — across markets that don’t forgive vague plans or slow pivots.
 

​I specialise in full-funnel digital growth for Southeast Asian markets. My work sits at the intersection of SEO, content strategy, brand positioning, and paid performance. I don’t just build campaigns — I build the systems and frameworks that make campaigns repeatable and scalable.
 

Across a career spanning renewable energy, insurtech, theme parks, finance, and live entertainment, I’ve led regional teams, launched market-entry strategies, grown organic traffic from near-zero, and turned content into a measurable lead generation engine.
 

Most recently at GetSolar, I joined as the company's first dedicated marketing hire — prior to my role, Singapore marketing was supported on an ad hoc basis by an agency, interns, and the Co-founder/CEO directly. Hired with a regional (Singapore + Malaysia) mandate from day one, I built the function from zero: growing monthly lead-generation funnel users 47x and submitted contacts 10x within 20 months, while structuring paid media budget across both markets and directing a two-person creative and content team.

I hold the CIM ACIM (Chartered Marketer) designation alongside a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Digital Marketing (Merit) from the Chartered Institute of Marketing — one of fewer than a handful of marketers in Malaysia with this qualification.

Currently open to senior digital marketing leadership roles across SEA — from Manager to Head of Digital. Let’s connect.

CORE COMPETENCIES

Digital Strategy & Leadership

Built a regional marketing function from zero as the company's first dedicated marketing hire, leading cross-functional teams of up to 9 across Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia — full-cycle hiring, budget ownership, and go-to-market strategy from the ground up.

Builds content architectures that improve organic search visibility and drive qualified traffic. Experienced in keyword strategy, content calendars, SEO frameworks, and end-to-end editorial workflows that generate measurable leads.

Performance & Growth Marketing

Drives customer acquisition through targeted paid campaigns, funnel optimisation, UX improvements, and lifecycle marketing. Comfortable owning the full funnel from awareness to conversion.
