Dr Vimaleswari Ramasamy, CEO & Founder of STRAVIK Business Consulting - Womenpreneur Asia Episode 9 with Krista Goon

Dr Vimaleswari Ramasamy is the CEO and founder of STRAVIK Business Consulting based in Penang, Malaysia.  STRAVIK Business Consulting offers business startup consulting to multinational companies keen to establish a strong presence and foothold in Malaysia as well as business optimisation consulting to organisations and Small Medium Enterprises looking to increase revenue. Together with her team, she provides strategic consultation with strong analytical and operational expertise, leveraging today's technology including artificial intelligence systems. But she wasn’t always an entrepreneur. In fact, she started out as an engineer who loved challenges and problem-solving. She kept climbing up the career ladder in the multinational corporation that she worked for and even chose, after a while, to change tracks and venture into human resources.  Her last role before she left to start STRAVIK was a milestone to be proud of. She was the first Malaysian female managing director for a UK-based multinational company for five years, growing the company to a 600-strong workforce.  In this interview, she talks about why she left the comfortable corporate world, a world she has known well since the day she started working more than two decades ago.
