Grace, the former MD of Leo Burnett – Singapore, took the lead marketing role at Samsung Australia in March this year.

The session will take a practical look at how to create a long-term, future-focused, vision for a team while continuing to achieve immediate sales targets. Grace will assert that taking an inward view first and getting the basics right is key to this.
