Tech in Asia - C-suite shuffle on the cards at MDEC

Daily Newsletter

Hello there

What would you think of someone who’s only had short stints at each job they’ve held? Does it speak of a rapidly rising star who can’t be held down in one place for a significant amount of time? Or does it indicate someone with a fickle mind?

My opinion? There’s probably too much that goes into these personal decisions to paint things in black or white. But when it comes to C-level departures, things might be a little more complicated. For instance, two executives appear to be leaving the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) after less than a year at the government agency.
