About me

I am a Senior Events and Sponsorship professional with over a decade of experience producing and delivering large-scale events across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Taiwan. I combine deep expertise in end-to-end event production and management with a strong track record in sponsorship acquisition, relationship management, and the full execution of sponsor deliverables — from initial pitch through to on-ground activation.

I have managed flagship regional events across seven countries, secured and stewarded high-profile sponsors including AIA, AirAsia, Adidas, Puma, and HSBC, and delivered events spanning the food & beverage, sports, entertainment, and hospitality sectors. I am a collaborative and commercially minded professional known for building long-term client and sponsor relationships, managing complex multi-stakeholder logistics, and consistently delivering events that meet both creative and commercial objectives.

In my recent role as Events & Partnerships Manager at Kita Food Festival, I produced and delivered over 25 events across Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, and Singapore, managing full-cycle logistics including ideation, budgeting, venue setup, vendor coordination, run-of-show, and post-event reporting. I oversaw multi-format event series and managed end-to-end sponsor and partner relationships with brands such as San Pellegrino, KIA, Bacardi, and others.

Previously, I have held leadership roles including Operations Manager at Bavarian Bierhaus, Head of Marketing & Events at The Marini’s Group, and Account Manager roles focusing on sponsorship management at The Malaysian Football League and Exceed Sports & Entertainment. These roles have strengthened my skills in vendor management, marketing, brand activation, and multi-country sponsorship coordination.

I am proficient in managing hospitality and VIP operations for major sporting events, coordinating consumer marketing and brand activations, and leading teams to deliver seamless event experiences. I am passionate about creating memorable events that align with strategic business goals and foster strong partnerships.

I am continuously seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise in event production, sponsorship acquisition, and relationship management to contribute to impactful and successful events on a regional scale.
