KUALA LUMPUR, 7 July 2022 – PwC Malaysia today announced the appointment of Nurul A’in Abdul Latif as Deputy Executive Chair for the firm with effect from 1 July 2022. This is part of a leadership transition plan which will see Nurul succeeding Dato’ Mohammad Faiz Azmi, who is the firm’s Executive Chairman, upon his retirement next year. 

Prior to her appointment, Nurul was the Markets Leader for PwC Malaysia, a role she has played since July 2016. Under her leadership, the firm has grown its service offerings to meet the rising demand for digital services, bridge the widening global skills gap and advance the local and regional sustainability landscape. She has over 25 years of experience working with some of the largest public-listed companies in Malaysia on audit and business advisory matters, as well as cross-border clients with a two-year stint in the UK. Nurul, who speaks Mandarin, also currently serves as a Council Member of the Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) and the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA). 

Dato’ Mohammad Faiz Azmi said:

“I am delighted that the firm has confirmed Nurul as my successor. She is well qualified for the role and I am confident that her extensive working experience across the spectrum of our clients, from the Federal government, State governments, public interest entities as well as NGOs, will be key to our firm’s future growth. She will also be an excellent role model to our profession as our first female Executive Chair of the firm.”

Nurul said:

“I am honoured to take on this role. I am also excited for the opportunity to continue our trust-building journey amidst the challenges of today’s environment. With the call for greater sustainability becoming an urgent priority, not only for businesses but the wider community, trust will underpin our efforts to deliver on our ESG commitments. As part of living PwC’s purpose - to build trust in society and solve important problems - I hope to continue engaging with our clients, our people and our wider stakeholders on the role we all play to secure a sustainable future. I look forward to working alongside Dato’ Faiz and the rest of the leadership team in shaping this future.”
