Proton Deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah steps down, Ainol named as interim
Proton has named Ainol Azmi as its covering deputy chief executive officer (CEO), effective June 10, 2025.
Ainol's appointment follows the resignation of the current deputy CEO, Roslan Abdullah, who has tendered his resignation after a five-year tenure during which he made notable contributions to Proton's growth and development. Ainol will report directly to Proton CEO Dr Li Chunrong.
Proton said Roslan was instrumental in reinforcing Proton's position as a top automotive brand in Malaysia and leading its entry into the electric vehicle (EV) market with the Proton e.MAS 7.
At the same time, he will continue to manage his current responsibilities in corporate strategy and group technical procurement.
"Proton welcomes Ainol Azmil to the role of covering deputy CEO. We are confident in his ability to take on this temporary appointment.
"At the same time, Proton would like to convey utmost gratitude to Roslan Abdullah for his contribution to the company and we wish him well in his future undertakings," Li Chunrong said.
