I am an executive and strategic facilitator with over 30 years of leadership experience spanning the banking, media, and public sectors. A former CEO and seasoned veteran of State Government Services—where I served as Media Director for the Johor government—I have built a distinguished career as a turnaround specialist, famously steering distressed assets from significant losses to profitability in record time. His deep financial roots in corporate banking and treasury, combined with my expertise in capital raising and digital transformation, provide him with a rare, 360-degree view of business sustainability. For the past decade, he has channeled this extensive corporate wisdom into a mission for global impact, serving as a dedicated advocate for ESG and sustainability. As a professional coach and entrepreneur, I now translate decades of boardroom experience into actionable, high-impact learning, empowering the next generation of leaders to balance commercial excellence with responsible, future-proof strategies. My focus has been predominantly in the area os Sustainability where I serve as consultants, trainers and coach to Public Listed Companies, SMEs, Banks and Government Agencies.
