Kamarul Muhamed

My two key passions have always been Aviation and IT – but I didn’t start out that way. I studied and worked in the city of London for 10 years before coming back to Malaysia. Soon, after a brief stint as Director and Country Manager for an American software company, I could not hold in my entrepreneur spirit anymore and left the corporate world. As CEO and founder, it is my role to constantly be on my toes – to strategise and navigate, and have a clear vision ahead of me on where Aerodyne is going. I am constantly thinking of ways to reinvent and challenge the status quo – this is how we stay ahead of the game.
