Bio
Carol Sae-Yang
It's rare to come across a stand out talent like Robyn. I had the pleasure of working with Robyn on the QVB Rise Campaign. I was especially impressed with her progressive direction and savvy business strategy but above all her strong ethics which she brings to every decision. If you are looking for someone to lead a purpose-driven project with her heart and soul, you've found the right person.

"Inspirational" is the word that comes to mind when I think about my time working with Robyn. I had the pleasure of working closely with Robyn to design, build and launch a series of new digital products, in a highly agile and fast paced environment. Robyn's drive, resiliency and expertise in the digital marketing domain was second to none, and her energy highly infectious. I would absolutely recommend Robyn to anyone in need of expertise in the digital, marketing and innovation space.

Robyn knows how to make things happen. A rare breed, with the ability to bring both vision and pragmatism to any scenario, she holds the tenacity, agility and ingenuity required to lead true transformational change amongst the challenging seas of the corporate world. An inspiring and inclusive leader, Robyn enables those around her to step into their strengths and expand their ways of thinking and working. With a career history filled with impressive, strategic design achievements, her consistent awareness of the human across all touchpoints of a project is invaluable and ultimately provides a critical competitive advantage for any enterprise she might work for.
