OXCEL Asia-Pacific is relaunching under the capable leadership of Fellow of OXCEL and colleague of the late Dr Saiful Bahri Musa, Dr Azahari Othman.

Dr Othman has been appointed President and Chief Executive of OXCEL Asia-Pacific and will co-ordinate its operations from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Prof. Dr. Azahari Othman, who is among the distinguished corporate trainers and celebrity speakers in the corporate training industry in Malaysia had his early education in St.John’s Institution, Kuala Lumpur. He received the Professional Certification of Leadership Competency and was conferred a FELLOW Of OXCELL (Level 8). Due to his dedicated and inspired coaching, leading and developing human capability in the area of ‘8ELQ (Emotional Love Quotient) Leadership and Sustainability’, he was later conferred a PROFESSOR Of OXCELL from the same body. He holds a BSc. in Marketing Mgmt (USA), MBA in Organizational & Management Consulting (EU), and DBA in Leadership (USA).

Prof. Dr. Azahari Othman began his retail management career in Mervyn’s Departmental Store, a member of Dayton Hudson Group in America, and later held various managerial positions in few established retail organizations in Malaysia. A founder and a Master Coach of 8ELQ, Prof. Dr. Azahari’s 8ELQ model has become an effective holistic training approach in most of his training programs, among others include Leadership Excellence Program, Entrepreneurship Development Program, Employees Excellence Program, Train the Trainers Program, Team Building Program, and Customer Service Excellence Program.

Lovingly known as ‘Dr.LUV’, Prof. Dr. Azahari Othman is currently a Principal & Chief Consultant of Barefoot Consultancy. Prof. Dr. Azahari’s professional ability as a speaker and trainer together with his high energetic style of presentation has made each program so exciting, motivating, and inspiring. His high EQ styles of delivery had encouraged active participation from the audiences internationally and locally, and this has made him a much sought motivational speaker by many well established corporations, government agencies, associations and the media.

Prof. Dr. Azahari Othman had eventually appeared in many TV programs such as in TV3, ASTRO, BERNAMA, RTM and Malaysian Internet TV’s ‘Power Breakfast’ live talk show broadcasted to 40 countries worldwide. He was appointed as a Motivator for ASTRO’s famous reality program Akademi Fantasia Seasons 3, 5, and 8. He was also a TV Host for BERNAMA’s TV Talk Show Program ‘Hello Malaysia’, and a radio host for BERNAMA’s Radio24 program, ‘Bicara Cinta Bersama Dr.LUV’.

Following the death of its founder, Dr Saiful Bahri Musa, in December 2013, OXCEL was re-launched by a group of educationalists who have been closely involved with its operation since inception. The re-launch makes OXCEL a full centre of the Western Orthodox University (Commonwealth of Dominica), the successor institution to European-American University (EAU) with which it has had a successful partnership for some years.

OXCEL’s new President is Professor John Kersey, well-known to many at OXCEL as President of EAU and now the Chancellor of the Western Orthodox University (Commonwealth of Dominica) and Master of the Western Orthodox Academy (UK). Professor Kersey, who can be seen above addressing the joint EAU-OXCEL Awards Ceremony at London’s Royal Over-Seas League in 2012, has brought the resources and administrative strengths of his organization to bear on the OXCEL re-launch, with institutions sharing mentors and having a well-established joint awards programme already in place.

Reviving and growing the extensive network that OXCEL had established both in Asia and the Middle East is a top priority for OXCEL following the re-launch, and OXCEL will be interested to hear from affiliates and partners both old and new who are interested in collaboration with the established OXCEL brand.
