Bio
Drew Pan
The transition from journalist to in-house communications is not an easy one (I know because I went through it too), but Patrick has been handling it very well and he juggles several different markets in his portfolio. One key reason would be that Patrick is very hardworking. Give him a task, and he'll get it done. Case in point: our LinkedIn company page is doing much better these days after he instituted a content strategy to keep it running optimally. He also made a trip to the Philippines recently that turned out to be very fruitful. After a single intense day of meeting with media, media interest in Carousell picked up dramatically and we received many more pieces of coverage as a result. I'm excited to see how Patrick develops as he picks up more skills in this industry.
