KUALA LUMPUR: Advancecon Holdings Bhd has announced the appointment of Alicia Chin Mei Yoke as its new Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. Chin steps into the role following the departure of Tan Chee Keong, who left to pursue other professional opportunities.
With a strong background in financial leadership and transformation, Chin brings to Advancecon a wealth of experience from her tenure at global energy technology giant Baker Hughes. Most recently serving as assistant controller and transformation leader, Chin was responsible for overseeing financial operations across two global hubs and spearheading transformation initiatives involving more than 600 team members.
Her career also includes key finance-related roles at multinational conglomerate General Electric, further solidifying her credentials in managing large-scale financial operations and driving organisational change.
Welcoming Chin to the leadership team, Advancecon Group CEO Datuk Phum Ang Kia said, “We are delighted to welcome Alicia to Advancecon. Her proven track record in global financial leadership, coupled with her passion for building empowered teams, is a strong fit for our Group as we accelerate our growth plans.
“Alicia’s experience in leading financial transformations and driving data-driven strategies will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our operational resilience, unlock efficiencies, and create long-term value for our stakeholders,” he added.
Chin’s appointment comes at a significant juncture for Advancecon, as the construction engineering firm intensifies efforts to grow its infrastructure footprint, expand its renewable energy ventures, and enhance its governance and financial reporting practices to meet evolving stakeholder expectations.
