Fitri Abdullah

Global provider of hyperscale data centre campuses Vantage Data Centers has appointed Fitri Abdullah as its country managing director for Malaysia, a newly created role in which he will oversee the company’s business in Malaysia, leading strategies that, the company says, “strengthen stakeholder engagement and market leadership”.

As well, Abdullah will be part of Vantage Asia-Pacific’s leadership team and report directly to Jeremy Deutsch, the region’s president.

Abdullah, with more than 30 years of experience across the technology and communication industries, brings a wealth of expertise in navigating complex business landscapes, fostering strong stakeholder relationships and building high-performing teams from both local and regional perspectives.

Most recently, he served as managing director of Oracle Corporation Malaysia for the last nine years, where he led the business strategy and execution.

Prior to Oracle, Abdullah was managing director of Mesiniaga, a publicly listed IT services company, and senior vice-president for the enterprise business of Maxis, a communication service provider in Malaysia.

In these roles, he orchestrated teams to drive substantial business growth through differentiated offerings, enhanced customer engagements and streamlined business operations. Earlier in his career, he held various leadership roles in consulting and systems integration at Hewlett Packard across the Asia-Pacific region.

Vantage’s portfolio in Malaysia encompasses three hyperscale campuses across Kuala Lumpur and Johor.

“Abdullah’s appointment comes at a time of significant growth for us,” Deutsch says. “His strategic vision and extensive experience will be instrumental as we pursue new opportunities and deepen our commitment to innovation and sustainability to keep pace with customer demand in such a dynamic market.”
