About
I help global brands grow revenue, improve customer experience, and deepen engagement through strategic CRM, email marketing, and digital execution. With 10+ years of experience across the US, Canada, and Hong Kong and a background spanning both in-house teams and top-tier agencies, I’ve led campaigns for Fortune 500s, launched marketing systems from the ground up, and built cross-functional teams that deliver results. My work spans financial services, tech, and travel industries, with clients including Citigroup, Dell, Google, Asia Miles, and the American Heart Association. I’ve driven success across the marketing lifecycle: segmentation, automation, campaign strategy, paid media, landing page optimization, and full-funnel reporting. Highlights include: * 48% YoY growth in email revenue through redesign, segmentation, and automation (HobbyKing) * 15% increase in global eCommerce conversions and 34% improvement in paid search performance * 32% lift in B2C email revenue and 41% reduction in B2B paid search CPA (Nixplay) * Standardized CRM guidelines across markets and led CRM tool migration (Asia Miles) I’m hands-on with Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Shopify, Magento, SEMrush, and Adobe tools (Photoshop, Dreamweaver). I bring strategic thinking, technical execution, and collaborative leadership, and I’m eager to join a high-impact team at a global organization.
