PETALING JAYA: Former Permodalan Nasional Bhd chief Jalil Rasheed, (pic) who left the country’s largest fund manager barely nine months after his appointment in October 2019, has been appointed as the new CEO of Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp) effective yesterday.
He will be the first non-family member to run the conglomerate, which is majority owned by tycoon Tan Sri Vincent Tan.
Jalil will be replacing Datuk Seri Robin Tan Yeong Ching, who has been redesignated as the conglomerate’s executive deputy chairman, also effective yesterday.
In a statement yesterday, BCorp said that the new appointments were made to transform the group into an institutionalised corporation, managed by professionals.
