DXN Holdings Bhd has appointed its chief executive officer Prajith Pavithran to its board as an executive director.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the group said Prajith, 47, began his career with DXN in 2001 as a sales and training executive in North India. He has since held leadership roles across India, the Philippines, Mexico and Latin America, a region that contributes about 60% of the company’s annual revenue.
Executive chairman and founder Lim Siow Jin said Prajith’s dual role will bring operational insights directly to the board, enabling more informed and timely decision-making while strengthening execution of the group’s strategy.
He added that the appointment will enhance communication between management and the board, improve accountability, and support leadership continuity as DXN pursues its long-term growth plans.
DXN shares closed 1.5 sen, or 3.1%, lower at 46.5 sen on Monday, valuing the company at RM2.32 billion.
