As a Senior Executive leading the Kids Category at ZALORA Philippines, my role goes beyond what meets the eye. I drive the growth of the category by strategizing, enhancing brand partnerships, and adding value to our customers' shopping experiences. It's a dynamic position that constantly pushes me to explore new avenues and deliver outstanding results.
At ZALORA, the core values resonate deeply with me. Among them, the value of Creating WOW Moments shines brightly in my work. We consistently go above and beyond, surpassing expectations and making a positive impact on everyone we interact with. It's this dedication to excellence that fuels our team's drive and inspires us to make a difference.
Over the years, what has kept me rooted at ZALORA is the sense of belonging and camaraderie.

Moreover, ZALORA stands out by recognizing and appreciating the hard work of its team members. It's not just about achieving business goals; it's about prioritizing the well-being of employees and fostering a positive work-life balance.
ZALORA's care for mental health and well-being is truly remarkable. During challenging times, the company provided reassurance and support, alleviating concerns about job security. They equipped us with the necessary tools, such as laptops and internet allowances, to work effectively from home.
