I lead multidisciplinary agency teams and turn business problems into communication strategies, campaigns, content plans, and deliverable creative work. My experience spans brand strategy, creative direction, pitching, production, account growth, and operational improvement.

In my current leadership work, I partner with senior management on new business, retention, and account expansion while leading major client strategy and creative assignments. I have helped grow relationships across brands including Beerlao, Nestlé, Pepsi, Carlsberg, Somersby, and others.

I develop teams and working systems as well as campaigns. I have introduced clearer agency standards for project management, presentations, production planning, and reporting, and built custom AI workflows using Claude and ChatGPT to accelerate research, debriefing, and proposal development.

I hold a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies and combine creative leadership with commercial discipline, partnership development, and practical execution.
