About Sook Ling Tse

My passion lies in the field of Creative Operations & Production, Business Affairs and Project Management.I strongly believe in strategic planning and following process.There’s nothing more important to making a project successful than proper planning and connecting with cross functional partners throughout the process. I have found that it is the best way to manage expectations, meet deadlines, stay on budget, mitigate risks and it prepares us to handle any unexpected challenges along the way.I’ve learned and developed best practices from seasoned industry professionals and many years of observation and direct involvement. It was because of this that I was a proponent of increasing Nautica’s internal creative capabilities and the launch of the photo studio. I partnered with creative, marketing, risk management and legal in leading the development of procedures, policies and contracts for the internal agency.Professional Skills. Creative Operations.
