Ben, Managing Director of Goodyear Malaysia since 2016, returns to lead Sales Operations and International Key Accounts based at the Goodyear EMEA headquarters in Brussels, Belgium effective 1st August, 2019.

He is expected to take up his new position in Malaysia in Q4 2019. In the meantime, Andy Cooper, Managing Director, Goodyear ASEAN, would take direct responsibility for the Malaysia business until Alex transitions from his current role.
Andy said: “Having been part of Goodyear’s success across multiple businesses in the region over the last 10 years, we are delighted to welcome Alex Ng to the next step in his exciting journey. His wealth of experience, industry expertise, customer connections and familiarity with the Goodyear company vision would be the driving force for Goodyear’s continued success in Malaysia. We are confident Alex would build on Ben’s achievements and propel Goodyear to a whole new level in the industry.”
“Malaysia is a very dynamic market, which offers a tremendous range of opportunities for Goodyear. As the auto and tyre industry continues to develop I am confident Goodyear has the brand heritage, quality products, organisation capabilities and trade partnerships to achieve best levels in class customer satisfaction to drive growth in the market. I very much look forward to the challenge of building Goodyear’s leadership position for the benefit of all our stakeholders,” stated Alex.
