CEO
Born in 1966, Mr. Mohamad Razif Abdul Wahab is currently the CEO of Central Spectrum, a Malaysian property development company headquartered in Pulau Indah, Selangor. The company is a member of Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Bhd (KDEB) with its shareholders; Kumpulan Hartanah Selangor Bhd (KHSB) and Detik Jalur Sdn Bhd, each holding 76.67% and 23.33% respectively.
The entrepreneur started working at the age of 18. His first project was Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh 1985, which was during the first economic recession. His second project was Serendah Golf Resort, where his chairman instructed him to setup the sales and marketing team for the project. At the age of 24, Mr. Razif was promoted as assistant manager.
Mr. Razif is an alumni of London Business School’s (LBS) Senior Executive Programme and a member of the Institute of Marketing Malaysia (IMM). With 30 years working experience in the industry, he had been part of Malaysia’s leading property development corporations namely MK Land Holdings, Land & General Bhd., Guthrie Property Development Bhd., Sime Darby Bhd. and UEM Land Bhd. and Premier Plus Consultancy (M) Sdn Bhd.
He joined Central Spectrum at the end of 2012 served as the Senior General Manager of Sales & Marketing. After years of standing in for Central Spectrum’s former CEO, Dato’ Mahmud Abbas, it came as no surprise to most that Mr. Razif was appointed as the new CEO of Central Spectrum as of February 2019 when Dato’ Mahmud Abbas left to explore greener pastures elsewhere.
“Mr. Razif, although surprised at the appointment shared that he knew he was being groomed as part of the succession plan for the company. With well over 30 years of working experience in the industry, he was the logical choice to take over the helm of Central Spectrum. The entrepreneur’s appointment is a clear indication of the company’s ambition and readiness to take on the future prospects.”
