Shahizan  Saharan

Area of expertise: I am part of the marketing team where we brainstorm, plan and execute various marketing strategies.

Background: After graduating, I was stuck at an impasse where I struggled with my career choices. My love for math and numbers pushed me towards finance but at the same time, I knew that I wanted a job that would allow me to express my creativity. Hence when I learned that Funds Partnership Asia was offering a role where I would be part of a marketing team in the funds industry, I knew that it would be too good of an offer to pass up!

I am now able to explore my creativity as I get to come up with various ways to capture the minds of the people in this niche industry through the content that we put out. Although there are days when we tire our brains out as we squeeze every bit of creative juice we have in us for content ideas, it’s always fun to see the work we’ve been on for weeks (or months!) finally go live. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that feeling!

Career Advice: Only you would know what’s good for you, so always trust your gut!
