I have spent more than three decades at the frontiers of entrepreneurship - founding five companies, two of which grew into multi-million ringgit enterprises, and creating national and global platforms that helped thousands embrace entrepreneurship.

In the early 2000s, I introduced the Global Entrepreneurship Week (Kauffman Foundation) to Malaysia, inspiring a new generation to see entrepreneurship as possible.

I went on to design and deliver some of the region’s most ambitious programs: Silicon Valley Comes to Malaysia (bringing global icons like Naval Ravikant and YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim), Global Startup Youth (500 young entrepreneurs from 100 countries), and the D-Code Bootcamp (a hackathon of 500 coders).

In partnership with the Malaysian government, I trained close to 5,000 youth nationwide and later launched Coding at Schools, introducing more than 10,000 children to coding.

My work has been recognized globally. I was invited by President Barack Obama to the inaugural Global Entrepreneurship Summit, awarded the IVLP Fellowship in Entrepreneurship by the U.S. State Department, and completed postgraduate studies in Entrepreneurship at the University of Cambridge.

I now serve as Country Head of CAMEntrepreneurs (the Cambridge alumni entrepreneurship network) and was a founding board member of Allied for Startups, the EU’s global entrepreneurship policy body.

I have judged competitions such as MIT Tech Review’s Innovators Under 35 and the Creative Business Cup in Denmark, and spoken on stages including TEDx and international conferences across Asia.

Today, through Act2, I work with organizations, leaders, founders, and midlifers to turn uncertainty into new possibilities - applying the Effectual Method and a lifetime of practice at the intersection of ventures, ecosystems, and inner transformation.

What drives me is simple: helping people take action, turn adversity into opportunity, and transform uncertainty into possibilities.
