Recommendations For Azhar

Regional Financial Controller Spansion “I have been fortunate to have Azhar work for me indirectly, directly and then as a peer at ON Semiconductor. Through that time he was very successful at supporting the operations he was assigned to, and very well regarded by operations management. He displayed attention to detail as well as seeing the big picture making him a valued member of the team. He was always receptive to requests by management for analysis and insight and drove activity based costing as a method for cost management and cost reductions. Forecast and budget cycles as well as operation reviews were accurate showing a full understanding of issues, goals, and opportunities. Azhar is a hard working professional that is a great addition to any team. I highly recommend him.” April 16, 2009



3rd Matt V., Controller, Final Manufacturing, ON Semiconductor

Azhar always provided sound business advice/guidance to the Manufacturing sites/teams and interacted very well with the different functional areas. He was instrumental in driving down costs and improving efficiencies during a very challenging time. Furthermore, his technical knowledge of semiconductor costing & systems is exceptional.

Azhar demonstrated an attention to detail and a desire to understand every aspect of a situation that was second to none. His judgement and decision making were sound, and always based on the best evidence possible. As a finance representative within a team, his desire to support his colleagues with an exemplary service was strong - and he put in long hours to do so. He successfully combined detailed number crunching with executive level leadeship!



Quite simply, he is the best finance professional I ever worked with and would not hesitate to recommend him highly.” March 23, 2009

His ability to translate what were to me complex financial issues into practical and understandable impacts made it easy for me to make decisions and drive actions based on the data that he provided.

Recommendations For John

Marketing Director Asia Pacific Coca-Cola “Prior to John Chacko moving as Marketing Director, Asia Pacific at Coca-Cola, I worked for John when he was Head of Marketing for Coca-Cola North & West Africa Division (initially based out of Casablanca, Morocco and later in Cairo, Egypt).



He is the only person I know who has had the incredibly rich experience and opportunity of having worked in five continents (Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia). That breadth of experience gathered from having lived and worked in numerous countries in each of those continents has been enriched by extensive travels to numerous markets as well in each of those continents.



As a result, he evaluates business opportunities and challenges with a seasoned eye and perspective. He is able to decipher common threads in business challenges across markets and distills difficult business issues into a strategic framework that then enables the development and execution of targeted strategies and initiatives.



He provided strong strategic marketing leadership to his marketing team. He helped provide some much needed strategic guidelines on marketing spending allocation between brand marketing, support marketing and promotional marketing investments.



John also provided direction to the Division marketing team and my Nigeria Region marketing team that managed the development of the Coca-Cola Make It Real communication campaign, produced by STB McCann (McCann Erickson's then affiliate in Nigeria) in late 2003 - early 2004. The campaign was subsequently adapted and used in several English and French speaking sub-Saharan African countries.



He understood our franchise bottling system well and was grounded in the realities of operating in diverse and difficult operating environments, having worked for several years in our Company. He had a solid commercial and financial understanding of the drivers of and levers in our business and the imperative to deliver volume, brand contribution, market share and operating income.



He was a firm believer in the primacy of consumer marketing leadership as an engine for growth and the role it had to play in our larger business enterprise. He nurtured and developed marketing talent and had the ability to recognize good talent. He was tough in his expectations of our marketing partners and his team and did not hesitate in having tough conversations. He remained a consistently good listener, open in his thinking to new marketing ideas and a collaborative and affable colleague.



I enjoyed working with him and his team and benefited from the opportunity of his marketing thought leadership and believed that he provided strong marketing leadership in the Division.” July 12, 2011



3rd Abraham N., Director, Marketing, Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited (North & West Africa Division)

reported to John at Coca-Cola



“I had the good fortune to have John as my client when I was at McCann and he was running the Middle East and North West Africa Division of Coke. He is a true integrated marketing specialist who can draw on extensive global experience to solve problems. He helped to turn around Coke's core brands in Africa through a passion for advertising and by understanding the need to create advertising hubs across the region. He is a brave marketer never scared to pioneer the new - he developed the first ever major celebrity campaign for Coke in the Middle East and North Africa which is still in use 7 years later. He built a truly respectful and collaborative relationships with his agency partners and always managed to get the absolute best from them. A great inspirational thinker who was a pleasure to work with.” June 8, 2011



3rd Daniel B., EVP Worldwide Account Director, McCann Worldgroup

was with another company when working with John at Coca-Cola



“I have worked with John on 2 very important and successful growth strategy projects in China and Japan.



John is clearly a strong leader with unique abilities to drive senior and multifunctional teams towards:

- Business, market and consumer insight focus.

- High value strategic orientations.

- Straight to the point commercial orientations.



Our job has especially been facilitated by his strong drive for building internal and external partnerships, his passion and hard work, as well as his great talents in understanding and motivating people.” June 8, 2011



3rd Eric J., Managing Partner, Numsight

was a consultant or contractor to John at Coca-Cola



“I personally had the pleasure of working with John for almost five years, when I was the Senior Director and team leader, for McDonald’s Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa Region [APMEA] Menu Solutions Department.



Although working for different organizations, we regularly shared information / strategy and product driven best practices, in regards to beverage, so as to leverage our combined resources and meet the needs of our stakeholders within both McDonald’s and Coca Cola.



John is a naturally cheerful individual and a highly skilled marketer who understands how to build and run businesses profitably, combined with a truly global perspective he performs at the highest level, demonstrating strategic leadership and the ability to deliver against shared goals.



I can, without reservation, recommend John to anyone whom might benefit from his advice and counsel in building a successful and sustainable business.” April 3, 2011



3rd Leslie B., Senior Director, Menu Solutions, McDonald's Corporation

was with another company when working with John at Coca-Cola



“While I was Asia Pacific Trademark Counsel for The Coca-Cola Company, I had the distinct opportunity to assist John on legal trademark matters while he was acting as Asia Pacific Marketing Director. John demonstrated outstanding leadership skills by always providing clear instructions and objectives for the many projects he led. In addition, John had a strong understanding of trademark legal matters and challenges and was able to find winning business solutions for all of his projects that had trademark legal challenges. John is one of the most professional, focused, and talented marketing managers with which I have worked and I have worked with many over more than 25 years. Finally, John is a personable individual that knows how to motivate people through positive motivation leading to outstanding results by his team members. I give John the highest of recommendations.” March 29, 2011



3rd Daniel G., Trademark Counsel, The Coca-Cola Company

worked with John at Coca-Cola



“Working with John is fantastic experience. I always enjoyed working with him since he always inspired me with his plenty of experience in marketing and he always treat me fair. I have never met such a marketing executive who has amazing balance of ability of visionary, strategic thinking capability and the executing the project seemlessly with his experienced hands-on skills and the excellent collabotive team approach and people skills. I would not rather call his people skill as " skill" ,since his way of treating people is not based on the theory but seems like a born leader. While having solid consumer, customer based marketing attitude, he is always accessible and reliable business leader and menthor whom all those who work with him are willing to communicate on honest base . Being working in the big company and managing the world biggest account , a leadership, abilily to influence the system internally and externally with a WIN WIN approach to create mutaul value internal are essential. John's extraodinally balanced set of capability and skills always made it possible to accomplish the engagements with the company and customer even though subjects are sometimes very tough.e.g. Deployment of Asia Pacific region wide consumer promotion managing managing procurement, marketing ,communication,terms etc.” September 5, 2010



3rd Tatsuo K., Marketing Manager The McDonald's Division Asia Pacific, Coca-Cola Asia

reported to John at Coca-Cola



“John and I worked together on the Olympic and FIFA World Cup Coca-Cola glass campaigns for McDonalds. John is strategically minded and can make things happen such that both projects moved with ease.



He is the kind of "client" whom advertising agencies cherish as he is respectful of people's expertise and is a master collaborator. I found that he takes the time to seek to understand recommendations fully which is vastly critical in a multi-cultural and often multi-lingual situation.



His biggest strength lies in relationship building within the company and externally. People genuinely enjoy working with John and because of this he is able to get the best result for the project at hand.



John has been wonderful to work with. The resulting McDonalds glass campaigns were highly regarded with the glasses completely selling out! I wish John every success!” September 4, 2010



3rd Linda K., Regional Creative Director, Asia Pacific, The Coca-Cola Company

worked with John at Coca-Cola



“John is a passionate people champion. He manages the challenges of the business without losing sight of its most important assets. He has never sacrificed effort and investments in building capabilities. As a result, his team was ahead of the curve in terms of marketing expertise in the organization and became an exporter of talent to other parts of the business. Working with John has been a true inspiration.” September 3, 2010



3rd Radi A., Human Resources Director, North and West Africa Division

worked indirectly for John at Coca-Cola



“John is a strategically minded boss with the strength of focusing on the immediate objectives without losing sight of the long-term vision. John is a great leader with the ability in building a strong team and motivating his subordinates to excel. Never short on humour and a pun, John is a fun and entertaining boss.

His global experience with Coke across so many continents and regions positon him to be a first class marketer with wide spectrum of knowledge base.” August 27, 2010



3rd Karen C., Marketing Director - Asia Pacific, Domino's Pizza

Our collaborations have been rewarding - efficient, effective and resonant with customers and consumers.

Recommendations For Fauzi

Group HR Director Proton Holdings Berhad “Fauzi is a very experienced HR Professional. His previous experience in MNCs has given him the width as well as the breath of HR knowledge that is very valuable for him as a HR Practitioner or HR Consultant. His excellent interpersonal skills has given him an added advantage when dealing with stakeholders in an organisation. I personally have worked with him and I feel that has given me an added boost on my experience and confident.” March 18, 2009



3rd Shamshul Kamal A., Senior Manager, Proton

reported to Fauzi at Proton Holdings Berhad



“Dear Madam/Sir,



Although I had the privilege to work with Mr. Fauzi only for a short stint, I find that it’s a very rewarding experience. He is somewhat different from my previous “Big Bosses” and noticeable in some ways or other. For instance, unlike some Bosses he is very accessible and approachable and you can see him coming to our office every so often…meaning you don’t only get to see him when he calls or demands you to his office.. Mr.Fauzi does not just restrict himself to his direct reports but does not mind seeking information and help and assistance from his Executives and Non Executives and that is one of his most valuable traits. Not forgetting his good sense of humour too..



In terms of his position as an HR Director of a GLC which was (and still is..) trying to make a “come back”, his roles and responsibilities as a strategic partner to the Chairman, the MD and the Top Mgmt Team was indeed very imperative. He tried his best to materialize the turnaround plan outlined to meet our business direction… Nevertheless, I’d like to thank him for the support that he gave on one of the turnaround projects which is the Talent Management and Succession Planning initiative that I had to handle and thank god it’s well on its way… And that is another of his qualities that is being missed – always generous with compliments and always acknowledges his team’s accomplishments..



On a more personal note, I would welcome any chance to have him as my Boss again and I give my utmost recommendation and wish him all the best…” March 17, 2009
