Datuk Seri Ivan Teh, the Founder & Group CEO of Fusionex, challenges the notion that heroes only wear capes, demonstrating how art and science intersect in the realm of technology.
Standing amidst Fusionex’s 60,000 sq ft R&D facility at Plaza 33 in Petaling Jaya, Datuk Seri Ivan Teh showcases his company’s voice recognition software with a flick of his fingers, commanding lights to dim and brighten, and even transforming opaque glass into transparency. This technological spectacle, while impressive, merely scratches the surface of Fusionex’s capabilities. Since its inception in 2005, Fusionex has carved a niche in analytics, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, adept at deciphering vast amounts of structured and unstructured data for its clients, boasting an official net worth of MYR1.2 billion.
Rooted in Petaling Jaya, Datuk Teh’s journey from academic excellence to tech entrepreneurship was shaped by a childhood fascination with innovation and superheroes like Iron Man and Batman. Pursuing a degree in computer science, he embarked on a career trajectory spanning multinational corporations like Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Accenture, where he confronted the deluge of data and inefficiencies plaguing various sectors.
The genesis of Fusionex occurred during a badminton game among friends, recognizing the pervasive problems across industries and envisioning a better way forward. Despite initial skepticism and the solitary pursuit of clients, Datuk Teh persevered, gradually gaining traction and forming the foundation of Fusionex with a team that remains integral to its success.
Nicknamed the ‘Office of Superheroes,’ Fusionex’s workspace reflects a blend of futurism and nostalgic comic book imagery. However, beyond the veneer of playfulness, Fusionex’s team of over 550 staff toils diligently, driven by a mission to confront real-world problems using technology and innovation.
Fusionex is not merely an inventor but a problem-solver, leveraging data technology to provide actionable insights for clients across diverse industries. By combining technological prowess with consultative approaches, Fusionex empowers clients to navigate complex challenges and plan effectively for the future.
With an illustrious client roster including Starwood, Marriot, American Airlines, Dell, and Malaysia Airlines, Fusionex stands as a beacon of innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client.
For Datuk Seri Ivan Teh, Fusionex’s success is not measured by sales figures but by its ability to catalyze job creation, foster ideation, and embody excellence at the intersection of business and technology—a testament to the transformative power of visionary leadership and technological innovation.
