COO
Mohd Nasruddin Bin Johari
Nasruddin has about 20 years of experience in sales, marketing management, and operations management mainly in areas of ICT. Soon after graduation, he was hired by Innovest Systems, a pioneering ICT company where he quickly climbed up the ranks to co-head the setup of an IBM value-added partnership focusing on banking and finance solutions. He was subsequently employed by Hewlett-Packard Sales Malaysia to sell its Unix and proprietary systems. Later, Nasruddin was employed by Maxis in its early days (then known as Binariang) to develop its fledgling fixed line telephony business through tie-ups with large property developers in the country.
In 1997, Nasruddin moved up a notch into marketing and brand management by focusing on market strategy work, initially for a small “dot com” startup and then for Silkroute Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based web-application development company where he was appointed its Chief Operating Officer. In 2001, he joined JARING Communications Sdn. Bhd., the country’s first ISP, as the General Manager for Customer Service where he remodeled its customer touch points almost in its entirety and introduced the Customer Experience model as a strategic competitive tool. He later took project management and brand management under his portfolio in a move to strengthen brand equity through carefully engineered service delivery mechanisms that are second to none in the industry.
In JARING, Nasruddin was also a key mover in the introduction of the company’s balanced scorecard to bring it to a new level of accountability and cost efficiency to prepare it for a more independent and competitive approach to market.
Nasruddin holds a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Iowa State University, USA.
Consulting Director
Gareth Davies
Gareth is the resident hacker in Omnilogic and has been messing around with computer networks and how to break them since 1997, when he was still a script kiddie. As a strong believer in sharing knowledge and the saying “Let Knowledge Be Free”, he believes in education and open source solutions as they empower people rather than imprisoning them in technology. “Let Knowledge Be Free” of course also has dual meanings, one meaning free as in no-cost and one meaning free as in without restriction/censorship or cover-ups. These both fit neatly with the general thoughts of the open source community and the ideology behind the successful education systems in the flat world.
Developing his intense interest in networks and how to break them, combined with the inherent eccentricity of being a Brit enabled Gareth to become a leading consultant in information security solutions, training and software.
Qualified in both technical and international management standards (OPST and ISO27001) Gareth has dealt with highly critical projects for national government bodies, financial institutions, national telecommunication companies and other Fortune 500 companies.
