KUALA LUMPUR: Nestlé (M) Bhd has appointed Raja Nurmaria Murni Raja Nur Azmi as executive director, group corporate affairs for Malaysia and Singapore.
She succeeds Datuk Adnan Pawanteh, who retired at the end of November 2024 after an illustrious 40-year career with the company.
In a statement, Nestle said Murni brings extensive experience and expertise to her new role, having been with the company for over a decade.
She joined Nestle in 2011 as media & advertising manager, overseeing media strategy and execution for all Nestle brands in Malaysia. In 2015, she was appointed Milo's senior brand manager and subsequently consumer marketing manager.
In 2021, Murni was assigned to Nestlé S.A. headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland, taking on the position of global brand manager for plant-based beverages in the dairy strategic business unit.
Her strategic acumen and innovative thinking were pivotal in shaping this emerging category. Most recently, she led global strategies for Milo & Nescau as the global brand lead, driving sustainability-focused communication and innovation initiatives.
Nestle said Murni’s proven track record in leadership, brand stewardship and her ability to navigate complex markets make her uniquely suited to lead the group's corporate affairs function.
