Weaving MaGIC, Like Climbing Everest

Cheryl Yeoh, CEO, Malaysian Global Innovation and Creative Centre (MaGIC), talks about her journey from PJ to San Francisco and then into the Malaysian government. 

She then discusses how the collaboration -- a clash of cultures -- between the government and entrepreneurs -- might work in an ASEAN context. Yeoh also talks about the expectations of her and MaGIC's KPIs - both company and personal.

She also discusses the issue of an overcrowded govt, a possible growth of a culture of entitlement, the challenge of working with 'rival' agencies and the irony of working for a govt that also attempts to shutter innovation (eg Uber).
