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.
