This is a closed-room experience built for honest conversation, practical problem-solving and meaningful connection. Every session strengthens your leadership, sharpens your strategic perspective and increases your organisational impact.

Places are limited. Join the leaders defining marketing's next era in Asia-Pacific.

Pricing

Participation in this programme is $1,299 (USD).

How it works

The programme begins at 8:30am on Thursday 15 October, with breakfast provided. Day one concludes at approximately 6pm, followed by networking drinks. Day two finishes at 4pm. All meals and refreshments are included throughout the two-day experience.

  • During the programme, you’ll work through these challenges in facilitated roundtable sessions with the Programme Director, ensuring each issue is addressed before you leave.

Siew Ting Foo

With a 25-year global career spanning senior leadership roles at HP, Unilever, Mars, Diageo, and Fonterra, Siew Ting is a six-time Campaign Asia Most Influential and Purposeful CMO (2018-2024). She scales P&L performance and teams across Asia and globally, blending marketing excellence with operational discipline and human-centric leadership.

As CMO for HP Asia-Pacific, she repositioned HP from a PC-maker to a brand that unleashes human potential – delivering US $2 billion in incremental revenue and propelling HP Gaming from #9 to #1 in North Asia in 18 months.

Today, as CEO of Soul for profit advisory, Siew Ting advises boards and C-suites on uniting technology, purpose, and human insight to drive sustainable growth. An Asian thought leader fluent in four Asian languages, she has contributed to The Drum, Adweek, Bloomberg TV China, WARC, and BBC Asia. As a mother of a 13-year-old daughter, she mentors the next generation of female and marketing leaders across Asia.


Why lead the CMO Accelerator Singapore Edition?

Siew Ting believes Asia isn’t just a growth market for CMOs to navigate, it’s the market defining marketing's next chapter. Her research on China's brand revolution includes what she calls "Chu Hai with Soul" brands – combining Chinese innovation with cultural intelligence. This puts her at the intersection of two forces every senior marketer must understand: the competitive reality reshaping global brand strategy and the leadership disciplines required to respond. As author of “Building Brands with Soul” and a proven operator who delivered US$2 billion in incremental revenue, she brings a tested framework that goes beyond inspiration. She’s here to help aspiring CMOs build the commercial rigour, cultural fluency, and personal resilience to lead with soul and prove it on the P&L.

“There’s never been a better moment to be a CMO, and Asia is where this future’s craft is being written. AI disruption, Chu Hai with Soul competitors, growing pressure to link brand investment to board-level outcomes – these aren't threats. Their rise is exactly why the CMO role matters more than ever. I joined this programme to help the next generation of marketing leaders understand that soul is not soft. It’s a pricing strategy. And Asia, more than anywhere, is where that truth is being proven.”
