Experience & perspective

Good strategy has to
work in the real world.

My career has moved between government, business and regional partnerships. The common thread is practical execution: connecting capital with capability, and policy with the people expected to deliver it.

01

Investment that builds capability

As Head of Foreign Direct Investment at MDeC, I worked to bring international companies into Malaysia’s digital economy and support investment that created jobs and new capabilities.

Business leadership and governance

I serve as Chairman of Chemrex Corporation and as a Director of EPS Consultants Malaysia and Formind Global Holdings Sdn. Bhd. My board roles span business, talent, education and technology.

People behind the investment

Investment only becomes durable when talent, leadership and execution capacity grow alongside it. That link has shaped my work in recruitment and human capital.
