I am an executive producer with 25+ years of global experience across high-end television, film, branded content and large-scale international productions. I lead complex multi-country projects, navigate regulatory environments, and craft production strategies that balance creative leadership with commercial execution and government engagement. I have advised government bodies and private sector clients on production strategy and international media engagement, and I founded a Singapore-based production company to serve Netflix, National Geographic and other global platforms. My work has been recognized with an Academy Award nomination for Burma VJ (2008) and an Emmy Award win in 2025. I founded Aasia Productions in Singapore, serving international studios and brands as a primary entry point for production in Singapore and the wider region. I regularly partner with luxury and automotive brands, operating in high-barrier segments and maintaining exacting standards while delivering high-quality content to global audiences.
