A Journey of Impact & Transformation
With over 25 years of diverse experience, Reza’s career has been defined by driving tangible results across various high-stakes environments. He began his journey in corporate law, serving as a Corporate Legal Counsel at PETRONAS, where he navigated intricate legal landscapes and contributed to strategic business decisions. This foundation in legal rigor provided him with an invaluable understanding of corporate governance and risk management.
His transition into business transformation saw him play a pivotal role in the corporate turnaround of Commercedotcom, where he was instrumental in increasing monthly revenue from RM500,000 to an impressive RM2.3 million. Later, at A.T. Kearney, he spearheaded strategic change management consulting for major corporate maneuvers, including the Proton and Synergy Drive merger, where his insights helped synchronize complex operations and cultures. He also contributed to startup development at iPerintis (PETRONAS e-Biz), experiencing firsthand the agility and innovation required in nascent ventures.
Throughout these roles, Reza consistently translated complex ideas into engaging, actionable lessons. He’s developed deep expertise in leadership, fostering high-performance teams, effective communication, and strategic change management—all delivered with a pragmatic, real-world focus that ensures solutions are not just conceptual, but truly implementable.
The Catalyst for Change
While Reza’s professional journey was marked by external successes, a series of personal and financial setbacks became a profound turning point. This challenging period led him to the Excellerated Business School for Entrepreneurs, an experience that fundamentally reshaped his approach to success, resilience, and personal growth. It was here that he truly understood the power of transformative learning and the importance of a holistic perspective.
This profound shift propelled him to become a sought-after instructor and speaker. He’s since had the privilege of impacting diverse audiences, from intimate small groups seeking deep dives into specific challenges to dynamic conferences with hundreds of participants, sharing insights that inspire profound personal and professional growth.
Expertise Rooted in Rigor & Practice
Reza’s intellectual curiosity is a cornerstone of his approach. He holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the University of Buckingham, UK, which provided the analytical and critical thinking skills essential for navigating complex challenges.
Recognizing the undeniable link between business and global sustainability, he pursued and obtained a Master’s in Sustainable Development Management from the prestigious Jeffrey Sachs Centre for Sustainable Development, Sunway University, where he was honored with the Tan Sri Sir Jeffrey Cheah Scholastic Award. This advanced degree deepened his understanding of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and their integration into organizational strategy.
Currently, Reza is actively pursuing PhD research, exploring the intricate role and impact of AI on sustainable development and hopes to begin in 2026. This ongoing academic pursuit ensures that RESB’s strategies are not only current but also at the forefront of emerging knowledge and practical application. Complementing this academic rigor is his self-taught proficiency in coding languages such as Python, SQL, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. This practical foundation in AI enables him to deeply understand and directly contribute to RESB’s AI integration and force-multiplication capabilities, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical execution.
