Moved To Malaysia With No Plans… But An Open Mind

It’s not every day you meet a successful business man moving to a new country without any specific plans for getting a job or starting a business… but that’s never the less what Mark Vedel did in 2005. After quitting his job as a Sales Manager for TietorEnator Denmark he moved his family to Kuala Lumpur. It took an open mind (a bit of guts too)… and Mark now employs 6 people in his company Vedel IT Services.

Planning the future
“I plan to set up a special testing team which will do nothing but software testing. They will know every typical mistake, loophole and typical user errors for any type of software so they can help clients identify and rectify these before release of their software solutions”, says Mark who at present employs 6 staff.

With new clients and projects Mark Vedel expects a turnover in 2007 of up to MYR 1mill and with more expansions in 2008 to expand from 6 staff to 30 staff members and even further in 2009.

It is hard to believe when Mark claims he had great difficulties concentrating on anything during his first 6 months in Malaysia. Now however, he feels much more settled as his wife is now in close contact with her Malaysian family, his two kids have settled in and a third baby is on the way. He also has managed to get a good mix of local and expat friends and has taken up one of his favourite sports again… in fact, he gets beaten every day by his Chinese badminton partner. Oh yes, Mark loves his life in Malaysia… and he is still having an open mind!
