  Singapore Managing a team that spans the most diverse region on the planet is no small feat, especially during a pandemic plot twist. But hey, challenge accepted. I fostered a team vibe so tight it could rival a K-drama plotline. As the region thawed from the COVID freeze, our team became a performance powerhouse—high on creativity, innovation, and the sweet taste of overcoming adversity. Because let's face it, pulling off killer events in the face of a pandemic deserves a spot on the podium.

I fostered a team vibe so tight it could rival a K-drama plotline. As the region thawed from the COVID freeze, our team became a performance powerhouse—high on creativity, innovation, and the sweet taste of overcoming adversity. Because let's face it, pulling off killer events in the face of a pandemic deserves a spot on the podium. I was the architect of the pan-regional events strategy and managed a team through what might as well have been the Olympics of challenging times for the Events industry (and a golden era for APAC content). I'm proud of what we accomplished and gained a whole new appreciation as a leader across a diverse team spanning Singapore, Japan, Korea, Australia, and India. Show less

  San Francisco Bay Area In the intricate world of team acquisitions and high-stakes deals, a Chief of Staff is a skilled navigator.

As a vital member of the Elevate leadership team, I removed the friction of business related administration to keep our team in flow states. I was the right-hand to our Executive Director, and I equipped him with the right level of information to make effective business decisions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I led a shift in the ways our team communicates as we became a fully-distributed, remote team. I believe in transparent practices and open communications, and I used my background as a content producer to shape some of our most complex, critical challenges into digestible media. The industry-wide lack of diversity in aviation inspired a close partnership with Uber recruiting to revamp our hiring practices and adapt new strategies to attract fresh talent. In 2018, I created the Elevate Women's group to provide a platform for open dialogue and connection and we exhibited at the 2019 and 2020 Women in Aviation International Conferences -- with a commitment to building a more diverse pipeline for pilot and mechanic talent.

I managed our first Driver App Launch campaign and lead a multidisciplinary team across emerging tech teams to evolve Uber's story across the Future of Trucking and Autonomous Car-sharing. In November 2017, I partnered with the Design, Comms, and Product leadership to further Uber’s vision for urban aviation. I produced branded content, including video, animation, VR and large-scale experiential work to showcase advancements in our 'Flying Car' technology. In May 2018, I directed the Uber Elevate Summit, featuring multiple stages, immersive experiences, interactive exhibits and networking events for 1200 attendees across aviation industry, government, and technology partners. In August 2018, I directed the Uber Elevate APAC Expo - convening key Policy and Media leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region.
