​

Hi, I'm Debbie. Born in Singapore, educated in the US, UK and China, I am a widely travelled journalist and branding and communications strategist with more than 15 years of experience producing award-winning multimedia content for the top global names in print and digital media. 

​

In recent years, my career direction has veered towards leading brand marketing and communications strategy for legacy brands pushing to go digital, and I derive as much professional satisfaction from managing regional, multicultural teams in highly matrixed multinational corporations as I do drawing from my third-culture experience to help Asian SMEs achieve global visibility.

​

Outside of work, I have a keen interest in retail innovations and previously tried to scratch my entrepreneurial itch by starting Batch, an online farmers' market for local food producers, and Pin Tea, a boutique tea company with Singapore-inspired blends.

 

These days, my goals beyond the office are less profit-oriented: I spend my weeknights volunteering to help low-income families in my constituency and my weekends pandering to my true bosses — two pesky little human beings and a perpetually jealous furkid.
