With over a decade in leadership at the global oil and gas giant Sapura Energy, and having held multiple C-suite positions at various multinational companies, including the Sime Darby Group, Mei Mei Chow made history as the first female and Asian chairperson of Paratus Energy Services group.

Paratus also recently completed a successful bond raise worth US$500 million, one of the largest Nordic raises in recent times.
