Focus
Partnerships, Strategy, Marketing
Co-founded a global EdTech initiative that connects academia with industry and broadens access to expert knowledge. In this role, I led partnerships, marketing, and operations across the organisation’s international ecosystem, and managed stakeholder engagement with institutions such as the University of Oxford, Regent University, the University of Waterloo, and the Asia School of Business. I also supported early-stage dialogue between these institutions and technology companies including Google and Microsoft to explore potential collaboration.
Intellect Horizon: The Conference
The flagship event brought together over 30,000 attendees across four global hubs: Asia School of Business, Regent University, University of Waterloo, and the University of Oxford. As one region signed off, another came online, creating a seamless 24-hour hybrid experience. The program featured three stages: Startup Stage, Cyberclash Stage, and Main Stage. I moderated the Startup Stage, coordinated global speaker logistics, supported technical setup, and ensured smooth operations. Over 20 speakers from Oxford, MIT, and Silicon Valley explored topics including ethical AI, 3D retail environments, digital transformation, and the future of learning.
Main Stage
The Main Stage set the tone for forward-looking conversations across technology, society, and innovation. It featured thought leaders from business, academia, and public sectors discussing how AI, XR, and emerging tools are reshaping the way we work, learn, and connect.
Startup Stage – Moderation
Launched with a keynote by Prof. Sanjay Sarma (MIT / Asia School of Business), the Startup Stage gave innovators a platform to share bold ideas across AI, Web3, XR and the future of human–technology interaction. It was a privilege to moderate conversations with inspiring speakers such as Richard Barber (Mind Tech Group), Dinis Guarda (Ztudium), and Rhea Jarvis (Innovative Schools Network), among many others.
CyberClash Coding Challenge
Oversaw CyberClash, a flagship Intellect Horizon event hosted at Regent University and ASB Kuala Lumpur. Over 70 participants worked in teams to build and race robotic cars powered by Arduino microcontrollers and programmed with Python. I supported participants through live troubleshooting, helped refine challenge instructions, and created a collaborative, hands-on environment that built confidence and encouraged creative problem-solving.
Strategic Marketing Rollout
Led a two-month digital marketing rollout with a five-person team, using GenAI tools to generate and streamline content across formats including video, newsletters, and social media posts. We built a clear and consistent brand identity, ensuring a professional presence across our website, LinkedIn, and niche Facebook groups. The campaign gained strong organic reach through active engagement and sharing by audiences across all channels. GenAI enabled us to move quickly and deliver high-quality, aligned messaging on a lean budget.
Project Highlight: Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Advised on the concept design of AI-powered exhibits to make complex historical narratives more accessible and interactive. Focused on storytelling and public engagement through emerging technology.
Why It Matters
Technology doesn’t create change. People do. I’ve learned that real impact comes from listening closely, adapting thoughtfully, and turning ideas into something others can connect with. By sharing knowledge in a way that resonated, we helped more people feel connected, curious, and included. That is impact.
