I have immense respect for Jennifer – both as a friend, and as a Malaysian corporate figure. Her strength of purpose, her drive and grit only serve to underscore her firm resolve in ‘getting the job done’ and making the world a better place. Her achievements are well documented, and her success given due recognition, not just by the media but by the industry leaders at large.
Jennifer’s drive and determination to ‘getting things done’ have propelled her towards a high-level of leadership position, especially within the hospitality and F&B world; now ever so, being one of the few VOICES for the industry during these challenging times of Covid-19. I personally witnessed her handle all sorts of situations – from business decisions to a call-for-action – Jennifer bravely stood out and took the lead to be the ‘voice’ of the industry to garner government support for the SMEs during the Covid-19 crisis. In a span of just a few days, she pulled together a group of industry peers, initiated and implemented significant and consequential media programs and collaboration to help and support others. This is truly commendable and exemplary of what defines a great leader.
Jennifer’s energetic and unassuming ways belies her warm personality, which shines through with every meeting up. Over the years and getting to know her better, I saw a strong yet kind woman; positively firm yet gentle, fun-loving, highly respected, loved and admired by all whom she encountered in her daily life. Her zest for life, her curiosity for knowledge and learning, her bottomless ability to “connect” with a diverse range of people is contagious to say the least.
I have often wondered how Jennifer can pack so much into a day. And until today, I am still in awe of her vitality, her energy, perseverance, and sustenance for life! Knowing her has certainly enriched my life – she is a natural social networker – always connecting people and establishing meaningful contacts – and it’s an honor to be counted amongst her network of associates.
Let Jennifer do the job for you. If anyone can, Jen can!
