Buxton-Leow, who was formerly publisher of Elle Singapore, oversaw the launch of 55 events for 16 different titles during her time running MediaCorp Publishing's marketing department.
"I began my career with MediaCorp in 1989, and came back five years ago. It has been a tremendous company to work for. I will miss my colleagues awfully, but owning my own business was too big a temptation."
Jessie Sng, MediaCorp Publishing's senior vice president of operations, has assumed Buxton-Leow's duties. She heads up marketing, circulation and
customised publishing.
