Tell us about your journey from when you started at MCFT to now.
I joined MCFT in September 2021 as a Graduate Assistant Operations Manager. From the outset, I had the opportunity to rotate across various departments including customer service, procurement / logistics, and scheduling. Each area gave me a broader understanding of how the business operates. In October 2023, I took a six-month sabbatical to travel across Southeast Asia and Australia – a great chance to gain new perspectives. Upon returning, I rejoined the operations team before transitioning into a new role within the sales team as a Business Development Executive in late 2024.
How has MCFT supported your career progression?
MCFT has assisted my development - I've been given real responsibility early on, with exposure to both the internal operational side of the business and customer interactions. The trust placed in me to manage my own projects and take ownership of key areas has been invaluable, supporting innovative ideas and problem solving. Rotating through different roles helped build resilience and adaptability – skills I continue to draw on as I grow in my career.
Where are you going to be working and what are the future plans?
I’ll be starting my next chapter with MCFT in Dubai. From there, I’ll move on to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and later to Manila in the Philippines. It’s an exciting international path and a great opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
What are you most looking forward to as you move from sales to a development management role overseas?
I’m really looking forward to immersing myself in different cultures and working with diverse teams. Each region brings its own unique challenges, and I’m excited to apply my problem-solving skills in new contexts. The opportunity to develop our presence in international markets while growing as a leader is something I’m genuinely excited about.
