About Me In 30 Sec
Seeking to be inspired, to envision the unlikely, to work hard for things that are worth it, and to be surrounded by those who are positively challenging me.
Fueled by strategy, product innovation, growth mindset, data and analytics, government partnerships and alliances, digital and social media marketing, on-ground consumer experience and engagement, branding, armchair philosophy, stories, people watching, traveling, culture, music, documentaries, writing, deep and out of nowhere conversations, street and fabulous food.
I have worked for MNC and regional FMCG and F&B brands. Then I took the next level, to build purposeful community programs for the government and a collaborative space for disruptive marketing peeps.
Studied Bachelor of Arts Major in Communication (De La Salle University, Philippines), Korn Ferry Management Program, The Power MBA Digital Marketing, Scalbl Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program plus SCAFA Dubai culinary classes and food photography workshops.
Currently based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, a member of Dubai Business Women Council. I can’t wait to see where my next adventure is.
"I strongly believe that purpose-driven, relevant and consistent engagement is the direct route to purchase, loyalty, ambassadorship and virality. A fully-engaged consumer represents 23% more revenue than the average."

Hire Me
I am well experienced to put together a company, brand and category plan, using data and analytics (internal sales data and external market research); aligned KPIs and automated MROI (marketing return on investment) calculation.
My goal is not just to look after the long-term brand values to drive future profits, but also to fill the short-term sales/quick incremental profits to support company cash-flow and assets build-up.
Count on me to reinforce marketing efficiency and results; justifying every dollar spend.
