With the completion of integration activities relating to the acquisition of ECM Libra Investment Bank Berhad by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, K & N Kenanga Holdings Berhad (“KNKH”) wishes to announce some changes to its organisation structure involving the appointments and redesignations of the following key personnel:

a. Ms. Maheswari Kanniah as Group Chief Regulatory Officer (“GCRO”)

 

Ms. Maheswari, as the GCRO, will oversee Group Compliance, Group Company Secretarial, Prudential Supervision, Regulatory Strategy & Relations as well as Group Legal functions of KNKH.

 

Ms. Maheswari is a Certified Fraud Examiner (“CFE”), Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrations, UK (“ICSA”) and a holder of Specialist Diploma in Company Secretarial Practice.

 

Ms. Maheswari has thirty-six (36) years of experience in the financial industry handling Compliance, Regulatory, Governance and Risk Management functions of commercial bank, investment bank, futures, securities industry and private equity as well as company secretarial functions of a listed company.

 

She joined KNKH in June 2011 as the Chief Regulatory Officer, heading the Group Regulatory & Corporate Services Division of KNKH. Prior to that, Ms. Maheswari was the Senior Vice President in RHB Investment Bank where she headed the Compliance Department until May 2011. She had also served Maybank for twenty-nine (29) years.

 

 

b. Mr. Cheong Boon Kak as Group Chief Financial Officer (“GCFO”)

 

Mr. Cheong, as the GCFO, will oversee both Group Finance and Corporate Planning functions of KNKH.

 

Mr. Cheong is an accountant by profession. He has more than 20 years of working experience covering financial management, corporate finance, corporate planning and finance operations.

 

He started his career with Pricewaterhouse in 1990 before moving on to work in various other industries such as service, trading, manufacturing and financial services.

En. Redzuan has developed and anchored his career around various operational transformation exercises that contributed towards greater efficiency and reduction of operational costs. These exercises were implemented in harmony with an overall strategic plan and on the back of a transformation program that is paid not from high CAPEX investment but instead partly paid by cost savings derived from an initial CAPEX investment.

 

This streamlining of the Group’s key support functions, led by our experienced and proven leaders, will facilitate Kenanga Group’s operating model to remain competitive in today’s dynamic markets.
