About the Speaker

Monette Iturralde-Hamlin is the founder and president of TeamAsia. Monette leveraged a distinguished career in international publishing to conceptualize and create Asia's first agency dedicated exclusively to corporate identity development and non-traditional marketing communications. She developed the business and creative processes that made TeamAsia not just a pioneer in Asia, but an arbiter of industry performance standards.

Monette is a hands-on manager, taking direct responsibility for such innovative programs as The Asian Management Awards, Asia's first region-wide award for regional excellence, and the Global Information Infrastructure Commission's first Asian global conference. She oversees the execution of a wide range of highly targeted events, from exclusive breakfast briefings for top CEOs to gala product launches, and from international conferences and exhibitions to public seminars by some of the world's top business and motivational speakers including Michael E. Porter, Deepak Chopra, Tom Hopkins, Philip Kotler, Mark Victor Hansen, and the late Peter Drucker.

A popular speaker in her own right, Monette regularly delivers workshops on business writing, public presentation skills, cultural sensitivity, sales, team building and handling difficult people. Her corporate training clients have included the Canadian Embassy, Accenture, Covanta, Fluor Daniel, Innove, Asea Brown Boveri, Zuellig Pharma, and Pilipinas Shell, among others. She developed and taught Services Marketing at the Asian Institute of Management, and has taught Written Analysis for incoming graduate students.

She was previously associate publisher for World Executive's Digest where she was responsible for circulation for most of the magazine's first decade. Monette increased the magazine's circulation from less than 15,000 to close to 70,000 throughout the region, making it then Asia's fastest growing English-language magazine.

Monette completed her Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology at the College of the Holy Spirit, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Her post-graduate studies were at the Asian Institute of Management where she completed her Master in Business Management with Distinction.
