A Morning with the CEO

As what has been in the news lately, the current TM Group CEO Dato' Sri Abdul Wahid Omar has been appointed to be the President/CEO of Maybank. He will be leaving somewhere in July or August and will be replaced by the current TM Malaysia Business CEO Dato' Zamzairani. In significant with the demerger, the current TM will be devided into 2 different companies which are called as TM (FixedCo) and TM International Berhad (RegionCo). Upon post demerger, TM will be a leading next generation communications provider in Malaysia with broadband growth potential while TMI will be a regional mobile operator with a unique portfolio of assets most of which are in the fast growing markets across Asia. And I do hope that this vision will be materialized as what it's targetted to be.


My department had the chance to have a session with Dato' Sri Wahid himself during our weekly Tuesday Morning Talk session and from this, we're able to get to know him much more on the personal aspects. Under his leadership, I have seen the positive transformation that TM has gone through despite all the sayings by the pessimists in TM itself. It is indeed a loss to the company losing him, but who knows his successor would be able to do even better perhaps. I think we'll just have to wait and see....
