Building and Expanding Hyrax OIL
- Dato’ Hazimah Zainuddin
With encouragement and support from her late
father in the first few years of Hyrax’s inception,
Hazimah brought into the business her love for
cars (defensive driving) and her never-say-die
attitude. The more challenges that Hyrax Oil has
to face, the more the company challenges itself
to succeed.
Hyrax Oil is still looking to expand overseas,
as well as opportunities to open production
plants in countries that are deemed feasible.
Besides continuing to increase their sales and
production, Hazimah also travels extensively
meeting clients and business partners alike
fromall over the world. Sharing ideas with world
leaders and industry players have provided
Hyrax Oil with a perfect platform for knowledge
dissemination and information exchange. Some
ideas provided by the company have also been
adopted as policies in certain countries that
they export to.
“To climb the ladder in this businessworld, you
have to climb step-by-step. There is no shortcut.
Remember, you must always be focused. Being
a woman especially, multi-tasking is a key trait
one must have. We not only have to play the role
of a business leader, but also that of a mother,
daughter, and various others. Also be prepared
for challenges; there will be failures, but it is
important not to let the failures define you,” says
Hazimah.
“There aremanymen today inwomen’s fields of
expertise,suchasculinaryarts.Dowequestiontheir
presenceandcompetence? Inmyopinion, anything
is possible, if you decide youwant to do it.”
Hyrax Oil is a crystal clear example of vision-
ary leadership and pure determination, passion
and perseverance manifested in the success of
their work.
