Strong Growth Through Continuous Efforts Across the Group

Mohd Faishal Kassim General Manager Group Business Development

With more than two decades of experience in supply chain management working with multi-national companies such as Reckitt Benckiser, L’Oreal and Nestle, Mohd Faishal Kassim was a Senior Manager of Business Development of Transport Solution at DHL Supply Chain (M) Sdn Bhd before coming on board the Swift Group as Head of Business Development & Solutions last year. He graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration ma-joring in Transport & Logistics Management from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Mohd Faishal started his work in January 2016, currently holds the position of General Manager Group Business Development at Swift Group.

One of our biggest challenge was to penetrate the multinational corporation (MNC) companies especially those in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industries. Initially, they were either unsure or unclear on Swift capabilities. But now the shift is gradual and we are getting more invitation to partic-ipate in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) process. We are scrutinizing all the business pipelines and zooming in on Customer Facing approach to contin-ue promoting and alerting customers on Swift services and ultimately to secure and wins more business. E-commerce is currently the trend and we are working on it. The newly established Group Business Develop-ment team is still at its infancy stage to show any drastic changes. I believe that we should put the Group’s interest first before our personal goals. I promised that our team will be transparent and ready to assist other business units in order to achieve Swift group targets. I adopt my father’s philosophy and practice Islamic concept of ‘ITQAN’ which is to do things sincerely, honestly and focused; to work out of respect is always better than to work out of fear.
