Honda Malaysia gets new MD, EdgePoint Towers appoints COO
HONDA Malaysia Sdn Bhd has appointed Narushi Yazaki as the new MD/CEO, effective April 1, to succeed Hironobu Yoshimura who led the company for the last three years.
Yazaki has over 25 years of extensive experience with Honda, having held key leadership roles across multiple countries, including Japan, Thailand and the US.
Prior to this, he was attached to corporate administration operations at Honda Motor Co Ltd in Tokyo, Japan, according to the company's statement.
In a separate appointment, EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd, a part of EdgePoint Infrastructure Sdn Bhd, an ASEAN-based independent telecommunications infrastructure company, has appointed Ravin Vickneswaran as its COO.
Ravin has been with EdgePoint since 2021, according to the company's statement.
In his new role, Ravin will work closely with teams across the organisation to drive the company's vision across various departments, including engineering and implementation, property and permitting as well as operations and maintenance.
EdgePoint Towers CEO Muniff Kamaruddin said as the company rapidly scaled in Malaysia, it was crucial that it expanded its management bench strength.
Prior to joining EdgePoint, Ravin has held key senior positions in telecommunications companies (telcos) in Malaysia and Myanmar, including as head of 5G enterprise business in Celcom Axiata Bhd.
To date, EdgePoint Towers is the second-largest independent telecommunications infrastructure company in Malaysia with 1,800 sites in its portfolio. — TMR
