Dato’ Azmir Merican believes in leading a company with a compelling strategy that will inspire the entire organisation. Currently, he is steering Sime Darby Property’s transition from a pure-play property developer to a real estate player, with recurring income from diverse revenue streams. Guided by the company’s purpose to be a value multiplier for people, businesses, economies and the planet, Azmir is a proponent of the triple-bottom-line approach—creating profits while serving the interests of stakeholders and protecting the environment.

Guiding the organisation towards a compelling net-zero ambition, his leadership signifies a commitment to sustainability and urban biodiversity through impactful initiatives such as connecting forest corridors, rewilding efforts and soil health restorations. He is also keen on innovative real estate projects, with two exceptional developments on the horizon. In the UK, the Battersea Power Station project is also set to launch more residential and commercial components.
