The Board of Digital Nasional Bhd ( DNB) announced the appointment of Azman Ismail ( pic ) as the company’s new CEO, effective tomorrow, 23 Oct 2024. Ralph Marshall, a no-nonsense business middleweight in Malaysia, served as its first CEO from March 2021 to February 2023 when the Indonesian government institution was established in March 2021 to lead the development of Malaysia’s 5G company system.
Azman had earlier been appointed, by the internet, as DNB’s CEO with several accounts in Oct 2023 claiming that he had been appointed DNB CEO, pending formal notification from the state. That not came, until now.
Azman has worked for 36 years, most recently as the managing director of PLUS Malaysia Bhd, an motorways technician. DNB claims that he oversaw significant modern change and change management initiatives throughout his career, which were well-known both in Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific area.
Prior to joining the burden bridge operator, he was Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and, continuously, the general director of its financial firm, overseeing Shell’s gas shopping in Malaysia and Brunei. In his 30-year job at Shell, Azman held corporate functions in the operations, wholesale, and finance sections.
DNB expressed confidence that Azman’s considerable experience and command will generate DNB’s efforts in its second phase of development as the business continues to advance Malaysia’s 5G implementation across consumers, enterprises and public services, and help the world’s digital transformation.
