Successful technopreneurs:

Puan Chan Cheong is a Malaysian born entrepreneur (born 21 October 1968 in Johor, Malaysia). Also known as CC Puan, he is the founder of Green Packet Berhad (Green Packet Inc incorporated in the USA, Green Packet International Inc and Green Packet Holdings Ltd) and Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

CC Puan has more than 19 years of diversified business experience with a strong success track-record in consulting, and the development and management of large-scale telecommunications, infrastructure and property projects internationally.

CC Puan was born in Pagoh, Johor to a family of 10 siblings and spent his childhood in a rubber estate in the backwaters of Kuantan,Pahang. His early days saw CC Puan growing up in a humble plantation household, experiencing running water and electricity for the first time only at 13.

CC Puan became the first in his family to be given the opportunity to attend college and study abroad. He graduated with a double degree in Business Administration and Management Information Systems and Finance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA.

In year 1999, CC Puan invested in setting up a technology company with some partners in the Silicon Valley. It had a good one-year run as a new business in a time when technology assimilation was high and funding was plenty. After a year into business, came the dot.com bust. Green Packet came to a dead end where the then CEO decided to call it quits.

Not wanting to give up, CC Puan stepped in and took the CEO role and determined to sustain the employment of his hopeful and talented team. CC Puan maintained a small R&D team in the US and moved its headquarter and its entire operations back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, forming Green Packet Berhad (GPB). This reduced operating cost substantially and allowed the company to refocus its business on the emerging markets of the Southeast Asian countries.

Green Packet was listed on the MESDAQ market of the Malaysian bourse within 5 years where the company’s market capitalization peaked to RM 2.7 billion. After 2 years being listed in the MESDAQ market, in 2007, Green Packet transitioned to the Main Market.

With operations in nine different countries; USA, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Australia, Bahrain, Thailand and Hong Kong. Green Packet is a global leading supplier of 4G devices and connectivity solutions for Global telecommunication companies and operators.

Under his stewardship, Green Packet is today the world’s third largest vendor for WiMAX devices and the No.1 connection management solutions provider in Asia.

First Reflection

The inspiration came when seeing this ad honda. so creative and intelligent way they create ads and can draw attention to the look. only in this way can give confidence to the audience to buy the goods of this honda. Apart from that, we can think how the creator of this video had the idea to make this video. they certainly do all this with the mindset and ideas among themselves and take time for them. all this just with a goal of promoting their goods.

My immediate goal is to finish in the diploma courses. understand all that has been done and will have learned so glad of work. of the video it also makes it so that I do not have the skills, but have their own creativity in order to have an advantage in itself.

to achieve success, I have to take risks to try something new. learn more skills to be able to know and will only improve. I also need to be more creative and make something new to keep abreast.
