PERFORMANCE
MARKETING
IS PERSONAL

I have spent twelve years doing one thing: turning media investment into real business growth. Not just conversions on a dashboard, but revenue, market share, and outcomes that actually move companies forward.

My career started at a gaming company in Mumbai, where I watched social media explode in real time and decided I wanted to be at the centre of it. That curiosity took me through iProspect, GroupM, Omnicom, and Publicis across India, Malaysia, and Singapore — each chapter adding a new market, a new scale, and a new dimension to how I think about performance.

At Starcom Worldwide, I led Samsung Singapore’s full performance mandate and went on to oversee Kenvue across 12 APAC markets as Global Operations Lead, acting as the primary regional bridge to global teams in the UK and US. Along the way I built teams, won industry awards, spoke at Google-organised sessions, and made friendships that have lasted well beyond the job title.

I believe the best performance marketing is equal parts data and craft. The numbers tell you what is happening. Understanding people tells you why. Get both right and the results follow.

🎯
Full-Funnel Performance Strategist
From brand awareness to last-click conversion, I build frameworks that make the whole funnel work together rather than optimising one end at the expense of the other.
🌎
APAC Regional Expert
Led campaigns across Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea. Each market is different and I treat it that way.
AI and Automation Practitioner
From Performance Max to Meta Advantage+ to Optmyzr and Madgicx, I have embedded AI-driven optimisation into how I work — as a strategic accelerator, not a replacement for judgement.
👥
Team Builder and People Leader
Built First Page Digital’s performance division from 4 to 15 specialists and scaled accounts from 14 to 120. I believe great work is built by great people, and great people need real leadership.

Industry Speaker and Thought Leader
Invited to speak at two separate Google-organised sessions on full-funnel performance marketing and digital growth strategy. Currently sharing perspectives on APAC performance media through this blog.

Areas of Expertise
WHAT I DO BEST
Across channels, markets, and campaign types.

Search, Performance Max, Shopping, YouTube, Demand Gen, and App campaigns. I have managed Google Ads accounts at every level from startup to enterprise, across 12 APAC markets simultaneously.
02
Paid Social and Meta Ads
Meta Advantage+, TikTok Smart Performance Campaigns, LinkedIn Ads, and WhatsApp Commerce. From prospecting at the top of the funnel to dynamic retargeting at the bottom.
03
Programmatic and Display
DV360, The Trade Desk, Teads, and RTB House. I built DV360 programmatic capability from scratch at First Page Digital, repositioning the agency as a full-funnel partner.
04
Regional APAC Strategy
Playbook development, framework cascade, and market-specific optimisation across 12 countries. I have acted as the primary APAC liaison to global teams in the UK and US for Kenvue at Publicis.
05
Measurement and Attribution
GA4, MMP, Adobe Analytics, Looker Studio, Supermetrics, and Adverity. Clean data architecture and attribution modelling that translates campaign performance into board-level business decisions.
06
AI-Driven Optimisation
Optmyzr, Madgicx, Smartly, and platform-native AI tools. Embedding automation into campaign management to free up strategic thinking time and improve performance systematically.
