About

I build AI-enabled growth systems that strengthen visibility, demand, and brand trust. Across 16+ years in Malaysia and New Zealand, I've worked across growth, brand, sales, operations, and marketing execution in SaaS, e-commerce, services, franchise, and financial services. Different sectors, same underlying challenge: how to turn marketing from a set of disconnected activities into a system that drives stronger commercial outcomes. My work sits at the intersection of AI, growth, brand, and narrative. I keep coming back to the same question: how can modern teams move faster with automation and better workflow design without losing judgment, trust, or strategic control? Not everything needs to be automated. But the things that do should be. That includes AI-enabled workflows, SEO, paid media, content distribution, funnel and conversion optimisation, CRM and lifecycle systems, analytics, and the reporting infrastructure needed to connect activity to outcomes. I work with AI as a core operating discipline, not a trend to follow. Used well, it removes friction, improves decision-making, and gives teams more room to focus on positioning, message, and commercial priorities. Used badly, it just creates noise faster. I'm especially drawn to the point where growth meets reputation. Company brand, executive visibility, media narrative, search presence, and distribution all shape demand before a buyer ever clicks. The stronger teams understand that performance and perception aren't separate things. They reinforce each other. I bring a commercial lens shaped by direct sales, franchise growth, partnerships, and cross-functional execution. Pipeline, conversion, CAC efficiency, retention, and how narrative influences trust. That's the lens I work from. My work has covered improving lead generation, cutting acquisition cost, speeding up campaign turnaround, and rebuilding CRM and reporting foundations so growth becomes easier to sustain. The specifics change with each environment. The systems thinking doesn't. What matters to me: building marketing that's practical, measurable, and built to last. Technology changes quickly. Trust, judgment, and reputation compound more slowly, but they matter more. Not more activity. Better execution, better decisions, and a stronger market presence over time.

  • Manager, AI Growth Marketing at Alpha Story
    May 2026 - Present · 2 mos

    Most marketing teams have more tools than judgement. I build AI-enabled growth systems that fix that, cutting manual work across visibility, demand, and brand without flattening quality or commercial relevance. At Alpha Story, that means growth systems across visibility, demand, brand narrative, workflow automation, and decision-ready reporting. The way I think about the role is simple. Marketing should run like an operating system: clearer inputs, faster execution, sharper measurement, and decisions that hold up commercially. Core focus areas: * Growing digital visibility across search, social, owned content, earned media, and AI-assisted discovery. * Turning that visibility into demand through stronger website journeys, cleaner content structure, and better lead flow. * Strengthening brand positioning and narrative, so attention earns trust instead of adding noise. * Turning GA4, Search Console, Microsoft Clarity, CRM, and campaign data into reporting the business can act on. * Building AI-assisted workflows across content, campaigns, research, reporting, and follow-up. * Raising the standard for how we plan, ship, review, and improve work. Visibility, demand, brand trust, and measurement should work as one system, not six separate efforts.
