The property developer’s CFO has spent almost 11 months in the CEO’s chair as officer in charge
Occupying the CFO chair is a significant challenge in itself. But what happens when your company calls on you to also fill in for the CEO when they unexpectedly resign?
This is exactly the situation that Hafiz Sulaiman, CFO at Malaysian property developer UEM Sunrise found himself in.
