ABOUT
ANWAR JUMABHOY
Anwar was raised in Penang, Malaysia, before moving abroad to live in several countries. He graduated with a B.Sc. (Hons) Naval Architecture from the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (United Kingdom, 1979) and an MBA from IMD, Lausanne (Switzerland, 1988).
​
​He works closely with Entrepreneurs and CEO’s as a Mentor and Business Coach. Anwar serves on the Advisory Panel of the Taylor’s University School of Hospitality and School of Business. He has been a Mentor at the Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC) for the SE Accelerator Program - Malaysia's first social enterprise accelerator designed to improve lives and build a sustainable world.
​
​​Anwar has over 40 years of business and management experience covering several different industries. His entrepreneurial spirit and interest in management sciences started with his job at FELS-Singapore, where he worked for several years. It was the entrepreneurial culture at FELS, that allowed the company to continually re-invent itself and stay relevant. He was first employed at a shipyard in Newcastle, England, which closed just 8 years after he left. FELS on the other hand, continues to operate. These and other experiences made him realize that to survive companies need to adopt entrepreneurial practices.
​
Anwar and Sri Vadrevu collaborated to write their book, which was published in 2017; 9-Entrepreneurisms – Management for a VUCA World. Put simply, Anwar and Sri Vadrevu remind corporate executives, “You don’t have to start a business to be an entrepreneur”. The book highlights nine specific traits, or practices that executives need to adopt in order to build agile and sustainable companies.
​
Most companies will resist getting to get to the root of their problem and instead stick with a “band-aid solution” type of action. 9-Entrepreneurisms lays out a methodology for executives to re-evaluate, not just themselves, but the structure of the organization.

Anwar is committed to bring his learnings to every businesses and corporation. He encourages you to: Manage Like an Entrepreneur | Lead Like an Entrepreneur | Sell Like an Entrepreneur | Hire Like an Entrepreneur | Work Like an Entrepreneur.
