Summary
Im all about clean, concise copywriting and business communications.
My B2B Communications approach on intrinsic value, strategy and finance has elevated clients to the attention amongst the likes of DealStreet Asia and Bloomberg Asia.
My ghostwriting Op-eds typically situate within The Business Times for targeted reach of a business leaders mindshare.
Outside of the office, I enjoy a good book and quiet time alone.
Writings by Malcolm Gladwell, Tim Keller, C.S Lewis, The Christian Science Monitor, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and the Monocle accompany my daily musings.
I too write on a freelance basis voluntarily just to keep my creative writing muscle in check.
