A former advertising executive at M&C Saatchi, he put on his marketing hat and East Imperial was launched.
In their first 12 months, East Imperial had colonised 11 countries. It's a high-end brand that is already stylishly sipped in iconic establishments including Raffles Hotel (home of the Singapore Sling) and The Savoy in London.
