My role bridges content, community, product and corporate reputation, equipping professionals with the tools to amplify their presence and drive meaningful conversations on the LinkedIn platform. Previously, I led Global Communications & Media Relations for APAC at Wiley, managing public relations, executive visibility, reputation strategy, crisis and policy communications, and brand storytelling across six priority markets in the APAC region – India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Australia, China, and Japan.

My expertise spans corporate reputation management, executive media training, policy advocacy, and integrated storytelling across traditional and digital platforms. Beyond my core responsibilities, I am committed to mentoring young professionals in PR & Communications. I actively advocate for millennial leadership and reverse mentoring, ensuring that the next generation is equipped with the right insights to navigate the evolving corporate landscape. In my free time, I am constantly exploring how AI fluency can transform communications and editorial functions — from building adaptive style guides and refining prompts to creating and testing intelligent tools, bots, and agents that enhance efficiency and optimise resources.
