Fauzy Wahad named new group CEO of WTCKL
KUALA LUMPUR: The World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) has appointed Fauzy Wahab as its new group chief executive officer effective May 1.
In a statement today, WTCKL said Fauzy, who has served as the organisations' chief operating officer since 2019, helped lead the centre through the pandemic, including its role as a major Covid-19 vaccination hub during the Movement Control Order.
He also played a part in the 2018 rebranding of the former Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), the statement read.
With over 26 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Fauzy said he aims to strengthen WTCKL's position as a leading events destination in the region.
"WTCKL is not just an international trade centre, we also want to be the country's top event infrastructure manager and support a wider diversity of events," he said.
He said the venue now hosts a wider range of events, including concerts, festivals, corporate functions and lifestyle activities, including meet-and-greet sessions with international stars and athletes.
