Recommendations For Suriya
Commercial Manager - Motorsport Proton “I met Suriya during my time with Honda Malaysia from 2001-2005. I was in aftersales while Suriya was in sales/marketing. What i will always remember about Suriya is his deep, undying passion for cars and the great lengths he would go to make sure he markets any product to the best he can. I will never forget the time when he requested my assistance in testing both the City and Vios in order to do a comprehensive comparison. We shared our expertise and had fun over the 2 days putting both cars through vigourous testing. After that session, Suriya came up with a fantastic slide show that showed the advantages of the City over Vios which even surprised the CEO ! I was impressed with the way he does things, which would definitely make the management of any company stand proud. In short, i would recommend him to any automotive company looking for a guy who thinks out of the box and is truly capable in surprising you with innovative ideas through his passion for cars.” October 8, 2011

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
managed Azhar at ON Semiconductor
“I was extremely fortunate to have Azhar as part of the Global Manufacturing Finance team at 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. I would highly recommend Azhar for a senior level Finance position to any prospective employer.” March 23, 2009
3rd Greg M., Director Global Manufacturing Finance, ON Semiconductor
managed Azhar at ON Semiconductor
“I had the pleasure of working alongside Azhar in two roles at ON Semiconductor; within MOS4 wafer fab and IPDD business group.
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
3rd Andy H., Director of Operations, IPDD Division, ON Semiconductor
worked directly with Azhar at ON Semiconductor
“Azhar and I worked together in the MOS4 Wafer Fab for about 4 years, and off and on after that through our careers with Motorola/ON Semiconductor in Phoenix, AZ. Azhar was a pleasure to work with, providing me valuable financial input to help me do my job on nearly a daily basis. 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. Azhar is also a great teacher, as I learned several things from him regarding database management and data analysis that I still use today.” March 15, 2009

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.

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.

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

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
