Adnan Zainal Abidin grew up alongside PETRONAS, starting his professional life with the gas and oil multinational only 10 years after the company’s inception. From day one, Adnan says he knew that the company was a perfect fit, which is why it’s not surprising that he went on to spend the next 36 years there climbing the ranks.
“I owe a lot to this company,” Adnan, now Executive Vice President and CEO of Gas + New Energy, tells The CEO Magazine. “I started my relationship with PETRONAS right from my high school days when it sponsored my secondary education up to providing employment for me to this day. I’m excited to see the ways in which the company has transformed over the years and will continue to develop as it looks to celebrating its 100th anniversary, and beyond.”
Given that Adnan’s career with PETRONAS spans more than three decades, few people have been afforded a better look into the dynamic natural gas and renewable energy industry than this executive.
“Over my years of service with PETRONAS, I’ve been blessed to see the company grow tremendously, and to be able to stand tall among other oil and gas majors who possess deeper resources and greater reach,” he enthuses. “It is a competitive spirit that drives me every day to do better than the previous day, and to identify opportunities for PETRONAS to continue its growth and leadership position in the industry.”
