Thank you for having me. I am a marketing professional with 5 years of experience in digital marketing across the APAC region. Currently at a global consumer goods company, I manage brand campaigns for the Greater China market with an annual budget of $2 million. I have successfully launched three cross-border campaigns that increased brand awareness by 35% in Southeast Asia. Before that, I earned my MBA from a program with cohorts from 20 countries, which strengthened my cross-cultural communication skills. I am fluent in English and Mandarin, and conversational in Japanese. I am excited about this role because it combines my regional expertise with global strategy, exactly the kind of impact I want to make.
