Technoprenuer, Business-owner, Technology & Interactive evangelist, consultant, storyteller who specializes in web trends, online strategies, interactive marketing, design & creatives.

Having spent 12-years in the advertising & communications industry, I had experienced both the local & international ad agencies.  However in my final years in Leo Burnett I was given the opportunity to work the Interactive marketing business. That gave rise to my new interest in this Internet space, which started as early as the mid-90s.

In 2001, I opted to pursue my Masters in Technology Management (UK) and I quite accidentally stumbled into the business world, when I started my own  Internet start-up company. In the following 8 years, Digital Commerce Malaysia (DCM) was borned. A small Interactive Marketing and Communications company.

We had alot of fun working with a wide variety of brands which included MBF Cards, Samsung Malaysia, Bonuslink, YTL Hotels, E&O Berhad etc. I went on to establish DC Labs MSC Sdn Bhd, which acquired MSC-status in 2006. In 2007, I sold off my stakes in the web application development business, and focused on DCM delivering front-end Interactive marketing solutions. Today we continue to manage a few good brands, including Al Rajhi Bank, Aeon Credit Service, Adoimagazine.com etc.

When I look back, I’d probably not have it any other way, ‘cos the experience and journey has been incredibly invigorating. In the early having worked with brands to advertising, and now the Internet business. In my own little small way, I have been given the opportunity to be exposed to building a variety of Online Business models with the likes of Adoimagazine.com, which took to me to Cannes, Adfest, Spikes, Global Brand Forums.
