Pearl Lai Ming Choo
Chairman
Corporate Affairs Director, Carlsberg Malaysia
What do you want to achieve by your Board Directorship?
Having worked for Carlsberg Malaysia for over 19 years now, it is my honour to be nominated to the Board of Dancham and appointed as Chairman and get involved in efforts to protect and promote the Danish business community in Malaysia. Carlsberg beer stands at the heart of moments that bring people together. From the Company perspectives, we hope to contribute by bringing Danish and Malaysia business communities closer over a beer, probably and bring to live the Sustainability of Denmark through circular economy here in Malaysia. On the personal front, I would like to have quality engagements with Dancham communities to get insights and intelligence on areas of common interest. In the re-opening of the Danish Embassy in Malaysia in August 2024, the Board of Directors of Dancham, with the support of the Embassy and EUROCHAM, we hope to be the Voice of Denmark to the Malaysian government, especially the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Ministry of Domestic Trade and other business-related government agencies.
How will you contribute to achieve your mission?
Collaborate hand in hand with the Dancham’s Board of Directors, I am confident that we can co-create a shared-knowledge and resources platform for the Danish business communities whilst offering them exclusive networking events and opportunities. Personally, I aspire to be a publicist of Dancham to amplify its purpose, mission and accomplishments; I pledged to undertake active roles in government engagements; and I champion activities and events around sustainable business,

What do you want to achieve by your Board Directorship?
I would be delighted to strengthen ties between the two dynamic nations.
Malaysia and Denmark complement each other beautifully in many ways, and I look forward to being a facilitator of the exchange of industry knowledge, trade, culture and development of relationships between people.
How will you contribute to achieve your mission?
I will identify businesses, industry experts, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and changemakers from both Europe and Asia, as I believe the cross-fertilisation of diverse ideas, translated into action will lead to enhanced, sustainable solutions, not just from an economic perspective, but also at an individual level.
Henrik Björkqvist
Board Director
Arla Foods Country Manager, Singapore & Malaysia
What do you want to achieve by your Board Directorship?
I would like to enable all businesses with ties to Denmark that is entering the Malaysian market to gain key information and access to needed knowledge and contacts to create a prosperous business venture in Malaysia. For current Dancham members to further leverage and cooperate on joint agendas and experiences across businesses and industries within both Dancham and other platforms finding solutions to challenges within the business climate of Malaysia.
How will you contribute to achieve your mission?
Within my past experience of establishing a business in Malaysia and growing the same continuously both in business and organisational size I have personal experience of both legislative and cultural challenges in the country. I have also experienced the potential shortfall one might have when facing issues without having a strong network to discuss potential solutions or using partners to leverage influence. Within Dancham and its partners we have great potential to strengthen the community of our members and it is our duty to realise this potential.

I can help bring some strategic thinking and entrepreneurial energy to the board to help challenge how we can create the absolutely best value for our members and the wider business community.
