KUALA LUMPUR – Green Packet Berhad has appointed Datuk Shahul Hameed Dawood as its new managing director and group CEO, effective today, in a move signalling a strategic repositioning for the technology solutions provider.

The company said the leadership change marks a “bold pivot” as it sets its sights on regional growth, innovation, and inclusive digital advancement.

Shahul brings over three decades of experience across sectors and is known for spearheading national transformation initiatives.

He most recently served as CEO of the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp), where he oversaw one of Malaysia’s largest talent development agendas, working closely with industry, academia, and international partners.

With Shahul at the helm, Green Packet aims to deepen its role as a catalyst for inclusive digital transformation across Asean and beyond.

Founded in Malaysia, Green Packet positions itself as a driver of forward-looking digital ecosystems, committed to sustainable, inclusive growth for both communities and enterprises. — July 21, 2025
