Interview with Hedwige Nuyens, Chair of European Women on Boards
DEI Workshop for INED
The 30% Club Malaysia and our corporate advocate EY recently organised a two-hour Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Workshop for Independent Non-Executive Directors and senior leaders of public listed companies.
During the workshop participants discussed the business case for more balanced gender representation in boardrooms, the plan, challenges, action plan, and support needed to realise the DEI ambitions.
Some recommendations include having a diversity policy in the Board Charter, collecting data to drive actions and decisions, and knowing where to source for board-ready women directors.
Where Diversity is the FACT, Inclusion is the ACT, why inclusion matters
Workshop on Resume Writing

“It was a very informative and interactive session, “Norliza Rasool Khan
“Raj shared very useful tips on the Do’s and Don’ts on how to write a board profile,” Leong Sow Yoke
These were some of the extracts from the feedback we received from the participants/mentees of the Board Profile Writing Masterclass, which was held recently.
The workshop was conducted by CnetG Asia’s Managing Partner and 30% Club Malaysia Steering Committee member Raj Kumar Paramanathan. This is the second session that 30% Club Malaysia had partnered with CnetG Asia, a global executive search and leadership development firm.
It was the first face-to-face session for the mentees since the onset of the MCO more than two years ago. At this half-day masterclass session, Raj Kumar shared tips on how to write a well-structured board profile and resume to our group of mentees of the Board Mentoring Scheme.
After the session, the participants/mentees networked with each other, exchanging ideas and information amongst them.

Breaking the glass ceiling
The Chair of 30% Club Malaysia, and CEO of Maybank Investment Banking Group, Ami Moris spoke about breaking the glass ceiling.
“Hard work is the minimum expectation in our industry, so that alone will not get you there. How did I overcome them? By being very intentional and deliberate about the way I approach networking. It’s not enough to simply be sociable if the goal is to have a seat in the room where it happens. Done right, it will allow us to identify role models, find mentors and sponsors, form a close inner circle, and expand opportunities.”
