Women of the Future Southeast Asia Awards 2019
What an incredible event it has been and I’m so impressed with Najaa and Supna for winning their categories to become 2 of the 11 award recipients and making Brunei proud.
Najaa Halbi won the award for the Professions category for her role as a Petroleum Engineer and the Planning Manager for East Asset Brunei Shell Petroleum and achievements in her 10 years in business.
Supna Rania Karwanamurthi won the award for the Entrepreneur category for her role as the co-founder and Managing Director of Flux OS Sdn Bhd and her aspirations to be the leading well servicing and drilling company in the region.
Held in Singapore, this was the 2nd edition of the Women of the Future Awards in Southeast Asia, which aims to build a platform to showcase regional emerging leaders who are driving positive impactful change.
This experience feels like the start of an amazing journey and I can’t wait to collaborate on some exciting projects with new friends.
