THAM WEI MEI
- SENIOR CONSULTANT
Tham Wei Mei has been serving clients in finance, retailing, airlines and manufacturing. She manages the communications of the Kuok Group, Transmile, East Coast Economic Region (ECER), Proton Holdings and Bank Islam to name a few.

The East Coast Economic Region is a transformative development plan to leapfrog the economies of three Peninsular Malaysian states - Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan - led by national oil corporation Petronas. Alpha is retained by Petronas for communications strategy and execution.
We help the board manoeuvre through a highly critical audience of media, analysts and politicians; against a backdrop of financial losses, overseas investments that did not pay off, changing automotive policies and intense competition.
Our role with the CEO of Bank Islam is best described as handling the "bad news", navigating critical broadsides from the political class, assuring depositors and rehabilitating the brand.
We represent TIME dotCom in its alliance with DiGi.Com Berhad via an appointment through TIME's majority shareholder.
Malaysian sovereign wealth fund Valuecap, which deploys in excess of RM10 billion in the stock market, is advised by Alpha for the communications of Asia's first syariah ETF (Exchange Trade Fund), managed by its subsidiary i-VCAP Management. The ETF broke all records in subscription and trades, and is listed on Bursa Malaysia.
