Azlan Sharom

A graduate of Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Sheffield (United Kingdom), Azlan’s career developed from his technical background along the lines of education, stakeholder management and organisational development. Beginning at a leading multinational semiconductor manufacturing company, he has since held various senior management positions in organisations relating to education in schools and spent three years in the service of the Government of Malaysia, at the National Economic Action Council, the Ministry of Higher Education, and the Ministry of Agriculture which provided first-hand exposure to matters of national policy and administration, while developing a broad appreciation of work cultures in both private and public sectors. His interest in human and organisational development was further enhanced while employed at a global upstream oil and gas services provider.

Most recently he was the Director of National Schools (Malaysia) at a British educational organisation that operates schools across six regions worldwide. He oversaw the development of five private national curriculum schools in Penang, Perak, Selangor and Johor, with a combined enrolment of almost 2,500 students.

Azlan is also the Chairman for the Board of Trustees of Insan Siddiq Berhad (ISB), a non-profit organisation that advocates integrity as a human issue and sets out to educate and cultivate future generations who are morally, intellectually, and spiritually accomplished persons.
