\\n\\nSTRAVIK Business Consulting offers business startup consulting to multinational companies keen to establish a strong presence and foothold in Malaysia as well as business optimisation consulting to organisations and Small Medium Enterprises looking to increase revenue.
\\n\\nTogether with her team, she provides strategic consultation with strong analytical and operational expertise, leveraging today's technology including artificial intelligence systems.
\\n\\nBut she wasn\\u2019t always an entrepreneur. In fact, she started out as an engineer who loved challenges and problem-solving.
\\n\\nShe kept climbing up the career ladder in the multinational corporation that she worked for and even chose, after a while, to change tracks and venture into human resources.\\xa0
\\n\\nHer last role before she left to start STRAVIK was a milestone to be proud of. She was the first Malaysian female managing director for a UK-based multinational company for five years, growing the company to a 600-strong workforce.\\xa0
\\n\\nIn this interview, she talks about why she left the comfortable corporate world, a world she has known well since the day she started working more than two decades ago.
