Beauty Brands

After moving to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I shifted my focus from sports marketing to handling beauty brands. I led the L’Oreal Paris Malaysia fleet (hair care, skincare, makeup), and was seconded to Jakarta, Indonesia to lead Matrix Professional and NYX Cosmetics. I returned to Malaysia to pitch for another beauty brand which we eventually won, and I became the account lead.
