During the startup phase of Prime Video and Amazon Studios in 2021-2022, I played a pivotal role in local content acquisitions and development. Collaborating with U.S. acquisitions, Business Affairs, and legal teams, I sourced and negotiated feature films and scripted series across Southeast Asia. Building and leading the Local Originals team for the SEA region, I conducted numerous interviews, adding 8 key talents to the team. I focused on curating a diverse local originals slate, fostering relationships with top creators in Indonesia, launching successful unscripted series, and achieving key acquisitions in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.

As a Senior Manager in Content Acquisitions at Netflix, I lead strategic initiatives across Southeast Asia and Greater China. My role involves negotiating and finalizing diverse content deals, focusing on scripted series, feature films, and specialized genres. Collaborating closely with content strategists, I streamline acquisition priorities to maximize ROI. I am recognized for building brand awareness, establishing strategic partnerships, and overseeing acquisitions of top-performing content. With a strong analytical mindset, I contribute to shaping the organization's content portfolio and drive impactful strategies for sustained growth.

Responsibilities include the development and execution of programming strategies for Scripps multiplex of pay tv channels (Asian Food Channel, Food Network, HGTV and Travel Channel). This includes overseeing the programme planning, scheduling and 3rd party acquisitions of all platforms.
