ABOUT ME

I have built my professional expertise in corporate communications for 28 years interweaving with adjacent job functions (PR, Marketing, and Policy), across business models (B2B and B2C) and industry sectors (pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and information technology). My career experiences have been honed by my academic knowledge and insights which I earned from five graduate schools with degrees in public communications, marketing, policy, e-business and digital culture, and policy. Since 2019, I have worked in Google HQ, leading the international liaison team and new media storytelling team and covering international strategy and new audiences like GenZ.
