Datuk Ami Moris takes over as the chair of CEO Action Network.
CEO Action Network (CAN), Malaysia’s coalition of corporate leaders committed to advancing sustainability and responsible business practices, has appointed Cypark group managing director Datuk Ami Moris as its new chair, effective Nov 1.
Ami succeeded Datuk Fad’l Mohamed, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Bursa Malaysia, who was the interim chair after taking over from former Bursa Malaysia CEO Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift.
With over three decades of experience in the capital market, Ami currently leads Cypark Resources Bhd, an integrated renewable energy and environmental solutions provider.
In this new role, she will work with peers on the CAN steering committee to oversee CAN’s strategic direction, strengthen multi-sectoral partnerships and champion impactful programmes to address the most mission-critical challenges facing Malaysian CEOs, particularly the risks associated with climate change, social equity and long-term resilience.
“I am honoured to assume the role of chair at this pivotal moment for Malaysia’s business community,” said Ami in a statement.
“The CEO Action Network has been instrumental in uniting leaders around a shared vision for sustainable growth, and I look forward to working closely with our members to ensure that the purpose and profit go hand in hand,” she added.
The network was established in 2021 as a peer-to-peer business coalition, partnering with thought leaders, government agencies and civil society to drive systemic change through collective action. Its members represent diverse sectors, including energy, finance, manufacturing and technology, all aligned under the mandate to embed sustainability into core business strategies.
“Today, more than ever, leadership demands courage, collaboration and the ability to turn purpose into actionable progress,” Ami said.
“As chair of CAN Malaysia, I am committed to catalysing meaningful change and building a legacy of sustainable impact – because the most enduring success comes when we mobilise leaders to drive responsible growth together.”
Expressing confidence in Ami’s appointment, CAN’s steering committee members said they believed she will bring fresh perspectives and renewed energy to the network’s mission.
Datuk Seri Johan Raslan and Dr Kalanithi Nesaretnam said: “The challenges ahead demand bold leadership, and she is well-equipped to guide the network into the future.”
“We would also like to thank Bursa Malaysia for supporting the network with distinction over the past two years, fostering collaborative action among CEOs to drive inclusive economic growth and environmental stewardship,” they added.
