Wong Kah Cane
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – The Malaysian Timber Council has named Wong Kah Cane as its new Deputy CEO, effective Nov. 1. Richard Yu, who has been CEO of the MTC since March 2018, continues in that role. He also has served as deputy CEO of the organization in the past.
The MTC was established in January 1992 to promote the development and growth of the Malaysian timber industry globally. It recently brought a group of Malaysian furniture manufacturers to the October High Point Market to both establish and solidify connections between these manufacturers and the U.S. furniture industry.
Since 2018, Wong has been a business coach with Vistage Malaysia, a role in which he provided training for CEOs. In August 2018, he became an independent member of the MTC’s board of trustees.
Before joining Vistage Malaysia, he was general manager at Everpro Sdn Bhd starting in 2016 and before that was senior general manager of Eu Yan Sang, a traditional Chinese medicine company. He first joined Eu Yan Sang in 2000 as an area sales manager and was appointed general manager in 2006, leading the company’s business development, sales and marketing operations in addition to branding.
“Wong has provided many effective management, marketing and branding strategies as well as training in his previous places of employment, which have turned these companies into amazingly successful businesses,” said MTC Chairman Dato’ Low Kian Chuan. “I believe he will be a great asset to MTC.”
