Commercial strategy and brand partnerships professional with experience across luxury, fashion, beauty, media-adjacent collaborations, and APAC market development. Previously at L’Oréal Travel Retail Asia Pacific, I worked across a $900M+ brand portfolio covering 14 markets, supporting pricing, promotional strategy, channel frameworks, ROI evaluation, competitor analysis, and regional campaign execution. My work sits at the intersection of commercial structuring, brand positioning, partnership development, and stakeholder management. I have experience shaping proposals, developing partner-facing narratives, framing budgets and commercial models, and aligning creative concepts with business objectives. More recently, I have worked on premium community, hospitality, and investor-facing partnerships, including sponsorship models, venue collaborations, and high-end event concepts. I am particularly suited to projects requiring both commercial discipline and sensitivity to luxury brand codes: defining the partnership model, clarifying scope and deliverables, preparing client-facing proposals, and supporting negotiations toward agreement.
