Speaking to Merlin Careers as part of its #Women in Merlin series in 2021, she said:
“The last 4 years in Merlin has been one of the best roller coaster rides in my life so far! I joined Merlin as Regional Marketing Director for Asia and one of things that still amazes me today is the level of attention that Marketing gets from all the senior leaders of this company, including our CEO Nick! That gave me a great platform to learn from stakeholders across the company in different parts of the world in a very short span of time.
“Taking on a new role as Regional GM for Asia in 2019 offered me opportunities to deep dive into other business areas, from operations to HR. The worldwide friendships I have developed in Merlin and being able to achieve so much despite multi-cultures and languages in my region is something I am extremely proud of! None of these would have been possible without an amazing dedicated team in Asia who are willing to try new ideas and challenge themselves to scale new heights!”
