Noreen adds, “I am deeply honoured to receive this award. This award goes to the hard work by all EDOTCO champions who work tirelessly to connect close to 200 millionunconnected and under-connected citizens within 9 Asian markets via its tower network.
I am humbled to receive this prestigious award and put Malaysia om the global marketing map. Let this be an inspiration to all young women out there who dream big.”
