Q: Tell us a bit about yourself.
A: I began my career in the furniture industry more than 2 decades ago, started as a space planner to provide feasible floorplans to end users. I progressed to after-sales customer service before moving to front line sales. Over the years, I have worked for a diverse group of companies that gave me great exposure to both local and international brands. With that, I learned to appreciate the fine craftmanship of well made furniture. I am a strong believer in selling solutions and services and not just a piece of furniture. Holding on to this principle and with my experience and passion, I have built trusting relationships with end users and designers.

Outside the office, I have a daughter, I'm also a mom of a golden retriever, and I am an active trampoline jumper.

Q: How is your experience at Brunner Asia Pacific so far? 
A: I am truly enjoying my 1st month with Brunner. I have had  the privilege to start my first week of work at Brunner Hong Kong and was given the opportunity to celebrate the Hong Kong showroom opening ceremony. It was a fabulous week to connect with colleagues and witness how well Brunner HK is received in the industry.

This is my 1st experience working for a young company. I am amazed how well structured and organized our organization is in such a short time frame. Our support team is the best team in class that I ever come across. We have great leadership and their vision in believing in a good operational setup enables the sales team to stay focused on consultative selling and relationship building.

Q: Is there a specific reason why you want to work for Brunner Asia Pacific?  
A: I came across Brunner when I worked for one of the European furniture manufacturers who used to be a Brunner dealer then. It was love at first sight to me as I have always appreciated fine craftmanship and European design. Another reason is the passion, transparency and trust set by the leadership that I believe is crucial in making work fun and engaging.

Q: As your new position as Sales Lead Singapore, which tasks will you be taking care of?
A: Brunner is a relatively a new setup in Asia Pacific for less than 3 years, I'm responsible to grow the Singaporean market and gain more market awareness to provide top notch customer satisfaction to our clients. The next step will be building a strong sales team in the near future.

Q: What will you be adding to the team?
A:  Over the years, I have built blocks of relationships with clients through consultative selling and have a deep understanding of the market trends and industry developments. With my WELL certification that I attained recently, I am equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to guide and engage with our clients.

Q: Lastly, what is your favorite product of the Brunner portfolio?
A: The ray collection provides endless possibilities and virtually no limits for a wide variety of spaces. The slender, dynamic and elegant ray conference chair is particularly pleasing to me. The seamless transition between frame, seat shell and armrests creates a slim line and minimalistic design that compliments the interior space.
