About

With over three decades of cross-industry expertise, I am dedicated to helping organizations achieve growth by leveraging innovation, sustainability, and AI-driven transformation. As the Co-Founder and Director of PMO Innovations, I collaborate with corporations, governments, and academic institutions to create and implement impactful strategies, training programs, and frameworks that transform ambitious visions into tangible outcomes. I hold the position of Chair for Malaysia’s ISO Innovation Management (NSC25/TC11) and actively contribute to ISO TC 279, influencing global standards for innovation. My proprietary 5-Step G.R.E.E.N. Framework equips companies to achieve Net Zero, comply with ESG, and drive sustainability-focused innovation. This is further enhanced by AI-driven agents that facilitate carbon accounting, reporting, and strategic execution. Having been distinguished as the Innovation 360AB Master Black-Belt, Motorola Innovation Champion of the Year, Science Advisory Board Associate(SABA) and a recipient of the CTO Innovation Award, I have provided invaluable support to organizations worldwide, spanning sectors such as electronics, automotive, real estate, and digital health. Clients appreciate my skill in integrating rigorous frameworks like ISO, Six Sigma, and Design Thinking with practical business outcomes, whether it’s building future-ready talent, executing sustainability roadmaps, or accelerating innovation ecosystems. In the educational domain, I focus on data analytics, human-AI collaboration, design thinking and AI applications in healthcare and sustainability, with a special emphasis on the AI-enabled G.R.E.E.N. methodology. My career is marked by a steadfast commitment to advancing innovation, driving improvement, and championing sustainable practices in the technology landscape.
