What I'm looking for

I’m targeting General Manager, Business Unit Manager and Head of Operations roles.

At Cotecna Trade Services Malaysia, I held branch-level P&L accountability for Port Klang and delivered 131% of the revenue budget in 2024, followed by 111% in 2025. I led commercial and operational delivery across agriculture, minerals and consumer goods inspection, managing a team of 10 direct reports.

Earlier, I directed inspection operations across Port Klang, Penang and Kuantan, and worked in marine cargo surveying and operations at Inspectorate Malaysia. I’m now a Life Planner at AIA MALAYSIA, advising clients on financial protection and long-term financial planning; I’m targeting General Manager, Business Unit Manager and Head of Operations roles.
