About
I have over 8 years of market development experience across Korean skincare/cosmetics, local FMCG brands, and multinational daily-consumer brands in marketing roles. I am also founder of three Hong Kong rental companies and serve as Director at two Hong Kong companies.
My strengths include new-market business development, strategy analysis and planning, partner relationship building, brand strategy and marketing, and regulatory/resource integration for new company setup in Hong Kong and the Gulf region. In 2021, I built Premium Innovation LTD from 0 to 1 and scaled to 9 party rooms, 2 shared rental units, 1 meeting venue, and 1 guest house. I also partnered with 7+ large enterprises and hotels to run team building programs that improved communication, cohesion, and creativity.
