About

Commercially driven marketing professional with 13+ years’ experience delivering revenue growth, market share gains and accelerated retail sell-through across luxury, prestige and mass channels. I’ve held senior brand and marketing roles at DFS (LVMH), Shiseido, Coty and LUXASIA, working across beauty, fashion and travel retail. My experience spans end-to-end ownership from brand strategy and commercial planning through to execution and performance tracking. At LUXASIA, I grew GUESS fragrances +107% year on year and improved the brand’s ranking from #39 to #29 in Prestige Fragrance. At DFS, I drove a +71% YoY increase in visitation from key customer segments to the Sydney flagship. At Shiseido, I contributed to record sales results at one of Hong Kong’s largest retail events. I develop and execute go-to-market and campaign strategies across product launches, retail and trade marketing, PR and influencer, with a focus on driving conversion, improving channel performance and maximising return on marketing investment. I lead cross-functional teams, manage agency and senior stakeholder relationships, and maintain strong commercial discipline across budgets and sales performance. I take a strong interest in how AI is reshaping marketing and actively explore how it can be applied to improve strategy, execution and performance.
