During the recent event which IBM held for all its reseller at Sheraton Subang, we saw a taller figure on the stage delivering the opening speech.

A familiar face!

I remember when First Solution was appointed as an IBM distributor in 1997, Ou was then the Country GM of IBM World Trade Corp.

But what many of us don't know about is, he started his career as a Trainee System Engineer with IBM way back in 1981. 10 years later he became the Director of Operations. Then, from year 1994 to 1996, he held the position of the GM of Banking, Finance and Securities for IBM ASEAN/SA.

Ou Shian Waei's last position in IBM before he joined Lenovo ASEAN/SA was as the IBM ASEAN/SA GM handling Banking, Finance and Securities sector. Voon Seng Chuan took over the seat after Ou left.

I only got to steal a very short chat with him.  Ou has a total of 26 years of experience in the IT industry and obviously love being able to come back to Malaysia.

Of course Mr. Ou! The bestest view of sprawling Damansara in a spanking new office in your old neighbourhood.... what a dream homecoming!
