“

I am an intrapreneurial Managing Director with a career centered on building and scaling new business lines from the ground up.

Most recently, I have established and scaled Samsung Ads in Australia and New Zealand, before expanding our offering into eight countries across Southeast Asia. Prior to this, I helped launch and grow Google’s DoubleClick into a multi-billion-dollar business and Google Marketing Platform. I am highly proactive, focused on where the curve is heading, and not where it already is. I gain energy from operating in high ambiguity and extreme complexity and have excelled in the challenge of building structures that mobilise while providing the flexibility to adjust. In parallel, I build resilient teams that have the collective temperament to adapt and thrive at the intersection of strategy, product and commercial execution. Today, as a leader of teams across three APAC geographies, I am confident in hiring the right people, setting clear direction, and creating the tension between strategy and execution discipline that reinforces success. I believe that the two things that make a business work are strategy and culture, and you have to get both of them right.
