CHELIJYAAN HO

Summary

A seasoned professional with over 18 years of diverse experience, I have honed my expertise in networking, client engagement, and account management. My previous role was a successful six-year tenure in General Insurance, where I developed a robust skill set in managing client relationships, handling complex accounts, and navigating the intricacies of the insurance industry.

In pursuit of further growth and academic enrichment, I transitioned to academia and am currently undertaking an Honours Degree in Media and Communications at Coventry University. This academic pursuit has broadened my understanding of strategic communication and media dynamics, complementing my practical experience.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in Key Account Management, strategic communication, and complex problem-solving. These skills have enabled me to effectively manage high-stakes projects and deliver exceptional results consistently.

I am deeply committed to leveraging my advanced skills and extensive industry experience in a Corporate Relations Specialist role. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to the academic sector or a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), where I can apply my expertise to foster strong stakeholder relationships, drive strategic initiatives, and support organizational growth and success.
