KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- Two Malaysian women captains of industry have been selected for the prestigious Ernst & Young (EY) Entrepreneurial Winning Women Asia-Pacific Class of 2024 alongside 16 other founders from Australia, China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka.
In a statement today, E&Y Consulting Sdn Bhd, a member of the global E&Y organisation, said the two are Datuk Anna Teo, founder and group chief executive officer (CEO) of Hernan Corporation Sdn Bhd and Ooi Lay Pheng, group CEO and executive director of L&P Global Bhd and CEO of Berjayapak Sdn Bhd.
Teo is the Founder of Hernan Corporation, Malaysia’s largest cold chain manufacturer and a leading exporter of Malaysian durians and durian-inspired products.
“From 50 employees in 1996, the company’s workforce has grown to around 200, with revenue reaching RM100 million in 2022.
“She aims to expand Hernan’s market locally and internationally in the coming years, with a target sales revenue of RM300 million in 2025,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, E&Y Consulting said Ooi is from L&P Global and Berjayapak Sdn Bhd, a leading group of companies that creates integrated packaging solutions for multinational corporations.
“Her strategic vision has seen the expansion of the group’s presence across Southeast Asia and elevated its market capitalisation from RM230 million to RM1 billion,” it said.
Teo and Ooi were the recipients of the EY Woman Entrepreneur Of The Year award in Malaysia’s EY Entrepreneur Of The Year programme in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women Programme is a year-long executive programme that identifies and champions a select group of high-potential founders who built profitable companies and provides them with the connections and resources needed to unlock their potential and sustainably scale their companies.
The programme’s flagship conference will take place in Kuala Lumpur from July 22-24, 2024.
