A true believer of the Human Governance (HG) message of humans as relational beings, Anis took on the torch to actualize the message of HG as the Chief Executive Officer of Human Governance Institute Inc. (HGII), taking on the role from its founder Prof. Dr. Arfah Salleh. She is a double degree holder in Accounting and English from Australia, holds a master’s degree in Education and Globalisation with distinction from Finland and had undergone Business Coaching training in South Korea. Currently, Anis is pursuing her Doctoral degree in “exploring the meaning of human”. She has had over 13 years championing education initiatives both locally and internationally in countries like Austria, Switzerland, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Bosnia and has worked in Finland and Germany. She describes taking on the helm of HGII as coming full circle from her first foray into addressing human and societal issues which began at seventeen when she represented Malaysia as the Youth Ambassador at the International Earth Summit in South Africa.

Indah holds a business degree from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and is a Certified Trainer with HRDF.

She finds her life principles to be in alignment with the philosophy that underpins HGII’s initiatives, hence her decision to come help the team champion Human Governance.

 

Being an entrepreneur and coming from the industry meant that Anas saw the dire need for Human Governance (HG) to be actualized in organisations, both big and small, as humans are the centre of all organisations. His industry background cuts across various sectors from IT (software development), hospitality (hotel management), property (valuation and property management). His overarching achievement to date includes pioneering the development of a cloud-based accounting software for non-accountants which has gained recognition in solving accounting woes amongst SMEs in Malaysia. Anas holds a double degree in Planning & Design (Property) and Property & Construction (Hons.) from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He is also a consultant, trainer and regular speaker with various entrepreneurship agencies such as SME Bank, SME Corp, Maybank, MDEC, MARA, TEKUN and AIM.
