Her expertise building brands and delivering integrated campaigns will be invaluable in driving impact across LePub Singapore’s client portfolio, expanding her role as managing director, PG One, where she leads a team managing 14 P&G brands across 12 APAC markets.

“Since opening its doors in Singapore in 2022, LePub’s story has been one of incredible growth and ambition – who wouldn’t want to be part of this trajectory? It’s a huge honour to be leading LePub Singapore into its next era, working alongside some of our industry’s sharpest minds and creative technologists to create brands that truly live in culture,” said Penny.

With over a decade based in Asia driving business impact for brands, Penny's experience extends from FMCG to F&B, automotive and pharmaceuticals. She has collected many awards along the way from shows including Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, and Clios, and was named Campaign Asia’s APAC Growth Leader of the Year in 2024.
