Icon Offshore Managing Director Amir Hamzah Azizan
KUALA LUMPUR: Icon Offshore Bhd
announced that its managing director Amir Hamzah Azizan will step down on Nov 30 “to pursue other opportunities.”
Amir Hamzah, who was appointed to the current post in March last year, will join Khazanah Nasional Bhd’s unit Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotel Sdn Bhd.
Icon, however, did not say what his position would be at Themed Attractions.
“Over the next few months, Icon will be conducting a search to find Icon’s new managing director,” the company said in a statement.
The provider of offshore support vessel services for the oil and gas industry said in the transition period, its current chief operating officer Capt Hassan Ali would lead the company as acting managing director.
Hassan had also assumed the leadership at Icon (for under a year starting April 2015) after Icon’s then-CEO and then-chief operating officer were given leave of absence to assist the investigations of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
Hassan was subsequently appointed chief operating officer in November 2016. This was after the duo who went on leave, ceased office that month.
It was also in that month that Icon announced that Amir Hamzah - formerly Petronas Dagangan Bhd managing director and chief executive officer (June 2010 to August 2012) and MISC Bhd president and CEO (January 2009 to June 2010) - would become its upcoming managing director.
Icon, which is 42.3% owned by Government-controlled Ekuiti Nasional Bhd, incurred a wider loss attributable to shareholders of RM13.18mil for the first half-year ended June 30, 2017, compared with a loss of RM4.40mil in the corresponding period of last year.
