Nordin Saisi
Nordin Saisi was sent to his first taste of independence at the young age of 10, to a full boarding school for rural children 400 km away from home. At the age of 16 and with very little command of English, he was accepted and sent to Northern Illinois University in the USA to pursue a Finance degree, a field he was told to pursue! After a total of 11 years being away from home, he came back to Malaysia armed with an MBA at a tender age of 22, and was full of hope!
Getting a dream high-paying job should be a breeze for this young kampung boy MBA from the USA, this time with impeccable command of English. Things could not be further than the truth. After sending out no less than 20 resumes to financial institutions in the country, the effort landed him with only one interview. And he flunked that sole job interview he had, badly. The only other thing he decided to do was to write to all the American-based multinational company in Malaysia, and luckily he finally landed his first job as marketing trainee with IBM Malaysia.
Until today, Nordin attributed his now colourful career history to the one-year IBM training accorded to him in 1986. He still believe he was just too lucky to have had that opportunity to be trained formally by IBM for one full year, and he believes we will never find such corporate programs anymore in the market today. In IBM he was responsible for accounts marketing management for financial industry clients, with many on-target achievement years. More importantly, he was a proponent of long-term customer relationships and this was attested by the fact that in 1993 he was hired as a consultant by one of his financial institution clients. His main task was to spearhead a transformation effort of the Bank from one which is driven by internal requirements to one which is very customer focused. His transformation initiatives were very well acknowledge both by the bank and by the customers of the bank, and they cover every angle of transformation including human behavior and mindset change, physical image change, process improvements and IT-enabling infrastructure.
His varied skills and adaptability were once again recognised when a corporate client of the bank took him to spearhead a new venture in the dotcom market space, thus propelling him to venture as an entrepreneur. The company was one of the early adopters of community and social networking portal and after 3 years it was sold to investors from India. He then embarked on various career path, consistent with his natural ability to adopt and adapt to various market changes and market requirements. His ventures include:
Currently as a Director of Sales & Marketing, Nordin is responsible for client relationships and system implementations for Silverlake core business solutions to major clients including KWSP Malaysia, Affin Bank, and Bank Islam. In his course of career, he enjoys public speaking and has been invited to speak in public seminars on topics including customer service, transformation, and organisational culture building.
