• Marketing, Communications and Leadership: As a senior executive of dynamic and highly member driven organizations, I have championed and been responsible for providing vision and strategic leadership for marketing and communications initiatives, ensured the integration and coordination of stakeholder relations, and ensure activities support reputation-building.
