2018 UEM Edgenta Annual Report

With strong fundamentals and sound strategies in place, I am confident that we will continue to sustain our growth potential and create value for all our stakeholders. LEADERSHIP BENCH Leadership is an important factor in driving organisational success, to set direction and motivate employees to do the right thing as we move forward. While we will continue to prioritise the upskilling of our workforce, we need to also build a strong leadership team to champion the growth agenda at every level of the Company. During the course of the year, we strengthened our leadership bench with the appointments of Ir. Dr. Tony Chan as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Asset Consultancy and Shariman Yusuf Mohamed Zain as Head of Client Solutions. Dr. Tony will be leading and driving the OPUS operations, including securing and delivering major road, rail and built environment projects. Shariman will be responsible for leading the Client Solutions team to ensure aggressive top line growth as we aim to achieve our revenue targets for 2019. As we gear up for an exciting year ahead, the role of Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer (CSTO) has been created to look at our strategic direction and organisational transformation. Shahazwan Harris has been appointed to the position and will be responsible for Corporate Development, Planning & Strategy (CDPS) as well as drive key organisational transformation initiatives. In addition to that, I am also pleased to announce senior leadership transition at UEMS Pte. Ltd. (UEMS Group). Ms. Low Chee Yen has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of UEMS Group, succeeding Mr. Chan Cheow Hong, who will continue to serve UEMS Group as a Senior Advisor & Director. I am confident they will surpass our expectations in discharging their duties and look forward to their contributions to the growth of the Group.
