Meet our People

I am responsible for the sales in the central region of Malaysia, which is the area around Kuala Lumpur. This region accounts for 50 percent of the total sales in Malaysia. There are approximately 6000 dealers nationwide. I need to make sure that all our 3000 dealers have enough supplies, that we reach our sales targets and that our brand has a prominent position in the sales outlets. I have weekly meetings with my sales staff to maintain the overview and keep myself updated on new telco product launches and promotion efforts. I also am required travel to the other regions to get new impulses and see what our competitors are doing.

Before, I worked for a telecom company that had a really strict hierarchy and too many rules and regulations for my taste. So I wanted to find a new job in the telecom industry. I had heard a lot of positive things about Telenor, so when my current position became available – I applied and got the job.

It is fruitful to work with many skilled people and help them to reach their goals. In addition, when good ideas are developed into strategies, it is very interesting and challenging to execute it and see how it progresses. Moreover, there are no barriers in DiGi as you get to voice out your opinions and all suggestions are taken into account before plans are being formulated.

It is a great atmosphere here, and our facilities are open and modern. We are given the flexibility to work where we like, and manage our own time.

Dynamic! This is a very dynamic company. We find solutions quickly to problems that arise. Unlike other companies in which policies are set, plans are derived and execution is expected. In Telenor, we get to set our own strategies.

We had a prepaid registration drive last 2 years and my team had to patrol all dealers outlet in Central region at the last minute before midnight to ensure we registered as many subs as possible. The next morning, had a breakfast meeting with Johan (CEO) and committee for an update session and planned on further action to execute. It was a truly remarkable experience as I got to work with people of all levels to complete a simple yet important task.

This is my first position in Telenor, which I have had for three and a half years now. Time passes really fast, and I feel that my career is developing rapidly, especially due to the several development programmes I get access to through Telenor. I find that the financial workshops and leadership sessions I have attended enables me to perform better in my job.

I like the responsibility and the challenges being a manager, so I would like to develop myself further as a leader and take on bigger tasks in the future.

The Penang Island outside the northern shores of Malaysia is worth a visit. It has beautiful scenery, and the food is absolutely amazing if you like it spicy!

The capitol Kuala Lumpur is something most tourists like to see. The night markets are great. You find everything there.

Malaka is a city with lots of ancient buildings that are more than a century old. It is a great place to learn about Malaysian culture. Highly recommended!

I like to spend time with my wife and children. We often go on longer trips in the weekends to go shopping, try new food and relax on the beach. Penang Island is one of our favorite locations. 

My hobby is to collect recyclable paper bags from grocery stores. The diversity fascinates me. They come in all shapes and colors. I have several hundreds paper bag at home, from all over the world. My wife is not too happy about that, though…
