Experian brings industry veterans, youths in CSR walk
KUALA LUMPUR: Experian Malaysia says its flagship corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme "Leaders on the Walk" has drawn strong turnout and impact. The CSR event bridged the gap between industry veterans and next generation of leaders. The global data and technology company said the event saw an unprecedented convergence of over 20 prominent C-suite and industry leaders walking with over 300 university students, fresh graduates, early career professionals and budding people managers over a dynamic five-kilometre route. "The initiative effectively bridged the gap and broke the barriers between seasoned leadership and emerging talent, fostering direct mentorship and invaluable dialogue outside traditional, formal settings," Experian said. The event, which is a first of its kind, took place at the majestic Perdana Botanical Garden. Experian Malaysia country head and HR director Chua Chai Ping said the event truly embodied the spirit of Merdeka, allowing established leaders to 'give back' to the future talents of our nation. Chua said "Leaders on the Walk" is not envisioned as a one-off activity, but marks the start of a longer-term mentorship ecosystem, designed to continuously nurture and empower future leaders in Malaysia. "Experian Malaysia, with the support from our partners from GBS Networking Circle and Pikom-GBS Malaysia, is eager to build on this success and remain dedicated to championing leadership development and nation-building initiatives for years to come," she added.

Leaders on the Walk connects students with top execs for mentorship
OVER 300 students and young professionals joined top corporate leaders for the inaugural 'Leaders on the Walk' programme at Perdana Botanical Garden. The event transformed the historic garden into a five-kilometre open-air mentorship space. Experian Malaysia organised the initiative to bridge generational gaps and reduce power distance between leaders and emerging talent. More than 20 C-suite executives shared career insights and personal stories in an informal setting. Experian Malaysia Country Head Chua Chai Ping said the programme aimed to create a level playing field for mentorship. 'People always say that leaders don't walk the talk, and I say now leaders will go on that walk,' she told Bernama. She highlighted the need for aspiring professionals to access C-suite leaders directly. The event was held in conjunction with Merdeka month as part of Experian's community-focused initiatives. Chua described it as more than a one-off activity, envisioning a long-term mentorship ecosystem. Partners like GBS Networking Circle and PIKOM–GBS Malaysia supported the programme. Participant K. Mathura, 29, praised the relaxed environment for learning from senior leaders. 'I had so much fun learning from our mentor while walking. It was brilliant,' she said. UTAR student Wong Xin Yi, 23, said the walk humanised corporate leaders. 'I realised we are on the same level. We get to learn from each other,' she added. The event was backed by major firms including TalentCorp, HSBC, Shell, and BASF Asia-Pacific. - Bernama
