The spokesperson also said Lee recognised that digital and tech was the way forward for marketing, and she undertook roles covering user experience and customer-oriented design. She previously led the strategy, development and operations of Taylor’s University and Taylor’s College’s website and digital assets. 

Before joining Taylor's, Lee was with event management company Olygen as its strategic marketing manager, where she created and executed marketing activities for IT event company BIGIT in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Middle East and Australia.

Separately, Taylor’s University has been shedding light on deep and controversial topics. In April, it launched a Hari Raya film in April, titled Sadaqah, centred around the topic of helping the underprivileged through education that conformed to the paradigm of charity. Sadaqah, which translates to charity, is all about helping those in need, said Taylor’s CMO Ben Foo. In 2021, in conjunction with Deepavali, it decided to explore the harsh realities afflicting communities in Malaysia when it came to education.
