Axiata
Welcome - President and Group Chief Executive Officer
A leading operator is not just about size, as measured in terms of shareholder value and strong financials, but also about sustainability, as measured in terms of having world class processes and people. Ultimately, we want to be the home grown highly successful multinational and the most admired telco in the region. Our people are a key element towards this vision.
At Axiata we believe in developing talents, exposing the people we recruit to a broad spectrum of cross-country experiences, and preparing them as future leaders of a company whose vision is to be the regional mobile champion by 2015. In order to achieve our vision, we have put in place a robust talent management programme. This includes self-learning, leadership and functional programmes, cross-country assignments and exposures, and also getting coaching and mentoring from our top leaders. Our extensive regional footprint provides us a unique opportunity to provide invaluable exposure and field experience in some of the fastest growing and exciting markets in the region.
As a ‘holding company’, our role is more than a corporate centre and we are looking to change it to a value adding centre which actively looks at delivering value to our operating companies, and from the operating companies’ perspective, shifting mindset from being just a local service provider, to being part of a regional player, and actively leveraging the opportunities that a truly regional company brings.
Our aim is to ensure each and every one of our employees undergoes continuous development; some at a faster pace than others because of their capability to undergo stretched development programmes, to prepare them as our future leaders.
Ultimately we want to ensure that our people are equipped with the right skills and experience to ensure they realise their full potential, contributing fully to a world class MNC.
