In a surprise turn of events, I was approached by a headhunter and have accepted a new job! The new position is Head of Design for Royal Selangor.

I will run the design department which consists of 4 sub-teams each of about 5 people – so 20 managing people and overseeing the design of 150 products a year!

Royal Selangor is a very established luxury brand in Malaysia and this position comes with a lot of responsibility. They did not expect to give it to someone as young as me. Having this as my next stepping stone justifies my ‘wild-card’ career in the startup scene and should leave me in a very powerful position when I want to move on. I am excited and honoured to be valued for this high position.
