After heading the company for over nine years, Tan Sri Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa steps down from the position of TM‘s CEO with the announcement of his retirement. He will be replaced by Dato’ Sri Mohammad Shazalli Ramly, effective 1 May 2017.

Tan Sri Zam has been a proponent of the High Speed Broad Band (HSBB) initiative that gave birth to the current rise of broad band subscribers that we see today. Under both Tan Sri Zam’s and Datuk Bazlan Osman – the current outgoing CFO – stewardship, TM recorded multiple milestones – overcoming the odds during the demerger exercise in 2008; successfully rolling out the national High Speed Broadband project with global recognition and launched UniFi, the nation’s first triple play service in 2010, in a historic collaboration with the Government of Malaysia.

Both were instrumental in transforming the structure and culture of TM, and helmed the Company throughout its journey towards becoming Malaysia’s Convergence Champion. In 2015, TM graduated at the top of the class in the conclusion of the 10 year GLC Transformation Programme and to date, we delivered Total Shareholder Return of more than 390% since demerger, with industry-beating revenue growth rates and the highest employee engagement index scores.

On the appointment of Dato’ Sri Shazalli as the new CEO, the current board of directors of TM are delighted and looking forward towards him taking over the mantle when he takes the CEO office this May.

“The entire Board, management and TM employees are tremendously grateful to Tan Sri Zam for his leadership and all his contributions to the Company. We would like to take this opportunity to wish him all the best for his future endeavours. You have indeed made an indelible impact on all of us Warga TM. In a similar note, I welcome Dato’ Sri Shazalli to join TM as its next CEO,” Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Sulaiman Mahbob, Chairman of TM commented.
