About

I’ve spent over 13 years building marketing where it doesn’t yet exist and changing organisations that weren’t sure they needed it.

My career has moved through digital native companies, multi-brand retail, and traditional manufacturing conglomerates. The thread through all of it: I come in when there’s nothing structured, and I leave with systems, teams, and momentum that outlast me.

At CT Corp Digital, I worked simultaneously across 24+ business units, building digital infrastructure from scratch and running performance campaigns across a group-level ecosystem. At Mikatasa Group, home to Lem Rajawali and Cheers, I did something harder: created an entire marketing function inside an organisation that operated for decades without one. At peak, that meant three departments and 35+ people across ATL, digital, field activation, brand architecture, new product launches, and the cultural shift needed to make branding matter in a place that had never really considered it before.

The hardest marketing work isn’t writing the brief. It’s convincing an organisation to see its market, its customers, and itself differently.
