As the Senior Market Strategist at an ASEAN-based brokerage, I drive impactful business growth through my comprehensive weekly macroeconomic and microeconomic research, proving instrumental in increasing the company's profits. My role extends beyond identifying market trends and formulation; I actively manage a trading book, consistently delivering sustainable returns with a monthly success rate ranging from 1% to 3%. Contributing significantly to business development, I focus on driving deposits and have successfully brought in over USD 5 million NFA during my tenure at Fullerton Markets. As the face of Fullerton Markets, I represent the company in media interviews, local and overseas seminars, and webinars. 

In my capacity as a senior market strategist, I hold a management role, leading a team of strategists and analysts. Our weekly commentary spans G10 currencies to ASEAN countries, offering a holistic market perspective. Enthusiastic about advancing eFX initiatives, I collaborate with the Risk management team to secure new liquidity providers and ensure optimal liquidity conditions.

 In my spare capacity, I have taken on the role of Business Development Lead at a PR firm founded by my wife called Saltine Communications for the last five years. In this position, I have led a dynamic team that engages with SMEs, providing effective and budget-friendly PR solutions.
