Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership positions at various global public relations and advertising agencies, including IPG PR, Havas Health, Publicis Health, McCann Health, Ogilvy Health, and Ogilvy PR. During this time, he established and expanded healthcare and science communications practices throughout the Philippines, Singapore, Greater China, and the ASEAN region, collaborating with notable brands such as Novartis, GSK, Sanofi, Danone, and Abbott.<\/p>\n
