Having held key positions in public life with Malaysia's telco regulator MCMC and in the International Telecommunications Unions (ITU), Commonwealth Telecommunication Organisation, World Bank and the United Nations Development Program, Dato' Sharil Tarmizi has a unique viewpoint on the local and international regulatory landscape. 

He has successfully parlayed this with his own background in law to invest in his personal capacity in some of Malaysia's most successful startups, while continuing to play a directorship role in PLCs, GLCs and private companies like POS Malaysia, Digital Nasional Bhd, Amanat Lebuhraya Rakyat, Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, Opcom Holdings, Bina Darulaman, Privasia Technology, QuantePhi Sdn Bhd, Lotus Cars UK, Endeavor Malaysia, Multimedia Development Corporation and BinaFikir Sdn Bhd.

In this latest edition of the Do More Podcast's Think Inspire Series with Endeavor Malaysia and CGS-CIMB, Sharil shares some of his wisdom and experience with Khoo Hsu Chuang.
