About

As a Service manager and project manager, I leverage my 10+ years of experience in telecommunication focussing on operations and maintenance (O&M) as well as projects to provide high-quality services for clients in Malaysia and abroad. I have extensive knowledge and skills in project rollouts and O&M services, as well as exposure to MNC work cultures and ethics. I am responsible for managing a group of engineers, both onsite and remote, on case delivery, SLA and KPI performance, operation review, reporting, and proposal submission. I also collaborate with internal partners, finance team, and management team to support EWP, identify new prospects, and filter potential candidates. I value trust and teamwork, flexibility, technical approach, and anticipation towards results. My goal is to deliver seamless O&M support for clients and achieve common objectives across all levels.
