MARK HENG
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Growing up, I never knew I was going to be an accountant. In school, and being an Air Scout, every single person in the scout troop dreamt of being a pilot…a fighter jet that is. Then, I wanted to become an architect, as I loved playing and building with Legos. I also took up music, wanting to become a musician or play in a rock band. However, none of these really happened.
Anyway, here I am, Financial Controller of Astro Radio. The journey as an accountant started with working as an auditor in a medium sized audit practice in London for just over four years before the call to return home was sounded. Began my career in Malaysia briefly with one of the top audit firms before joining Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd in 1995 as a Finance Executive. A year later, was transferred to Tanjong plc, looking at business development, evaluating business proposals. After three years, the next port of call in the group was Astro and was given the exposure in operational management in a variety of areas within the business.
In 2003, moved to Astro Radio and have enjoyed every single minute in the industry. Radio, is where we move at breakneck speed. I build relationships with people and numbers but most of all; I get to enjoy the best music and entertaining content in the country. I guess I am getting live my dreams, working at Astro Radio.
I am a cricket enthusiast, could not play to save my life though.
You Never Walk Alone.
