In 2012, at the age of 20, Renee began her career in retail with Primer Group of Companies as a Merchandising Associate at The Travel Club.
However, with a passion for marketing, she quickly transitioned to become a Brand Associate for Travel Club’s House Brand.
Her role soon evolved into Brand Supervisor and Brand Manager, handling prestigious brands like TUMI, Briggs & Riley, and Eagle Creek. Through this experience, Renee developed valuable skills in merchandising, business planning, marketing strategies, partnerships, event management, P&L, and more.
In 2018, Renee joined SweetEscape, an Indonesian startup, as part of their pioneering team in the Philippines. Originally hired as a Marketing Manager, her unique experience and plans soon expanded her role to include Partnership Manager responsibilities.
She helped grow the team from three to twelve within a year and successfully secured partnerships with major brands, including Klook, Discovery Suites, Discovery Shores, Rakso Travel, Singapore Airlines, DOT, SM Malls, and Moment Group.
As part of a startup environment, Renee was immersed in business development, events, content, partnerships, and beyond.
When the pandemic hit, and with it a downturn in the travel industry, her position was unfortunately affected.
In 2020, Renee pivoted to online work. After briefly considering a corporate position, she decided instead to launch her own business, joining DSolo and supporting their team.
By 2021, she began offering consultancy services, collaborating with clients like Par Vous Designs, Bullish Finance, and Cactus and Canvas.
From 2022 to 2023, Renee served as Project Manager at She Talks Asia, where she managed content, community engagement, and the launch of their podcast and post-pandemic summit. Currently, Renee remains part of Digital Solopreneur, continues to assist She Talks, and serves as Project Manager at a UK-based chef agency.
All of her diverse experiences have shaped Renee into a multifaceted strategist, igniting her passion to help more businesses grow through her expertise and commitment.

When I think of someone who goes above and beyond in their work, Renee comes to mind. During our time at SweetEscape she handled her role with grace, accuracy and strong results. Her ability to create lasting, meaningful relationships is one of her greatest strengths and is very admirable.
Renee is one of those people who always brings a sense of positivity and enthusiasm in the team which makes her a pleasure to be around. I would be happy to recommend her for any position or organization lucky enough to have her.
I asked Renee to join my team in the Philippines when we decided to launch SweetEscape there. I love her energy, grit and hard work --I could see it the moment I met her for an interview. She continuously showed them when building partnerships with brands and spread the words about our product, and those are the qualities that helped us establish our presence in the region.
Renee is such a great consultant! As a solo founder/owner of a business, I recently was at the stage where I needed to get someone who's had more experience in restrategize my company's business development efforts.
Armored with her years of experience in marketing, project management, and brand management, you will feel that sense of comfort that Renee really will take care of your business as if it were her own. I highly recommend Renee to anyone who would like to take their business to the next level.
I have worked with Renee closely for 2 years doing marketing and partnerships at a tech start up. Renee is one of the hardest working and most diligent people I have ever worked with. She is always very proactive and you can be sure that when she leads an initiative, she will see it through meticulously. I've always been impressed by how reliable and organized she is and with her capacity to juggle multiple initiatives/projects at the same time. She's a joy to work with, always positive, and is always looking for new things to learn.
