Relevant Experience

Didi Syafruddin Yahya brings over two (2) decades of extensive banking and financial markets experience, accumulated primarily during his distinguished tenure with J.P. Morgan Indonesia and subsequently in Malaysia. Over the course of his career with the firm, he held several senior leadership positions, culminating in his role as Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking for Malaysia.

 

During his years with J.P. Morgan, Didi played a pivotal role in leading client coverage and delivering strategic advisory services across mergers and acquisitions, as well as equity and debt capital market transactions. His work supported many of the region’s leading corporates in Indonesia and Malaysia, reflecting his deep understanding of regional market dynamics and complex financial structures.

 

Didi began his professional journey in London with Morgan Grenfell & Co., shortly after qualifying as a Chartered Accountant. Since then, he has built a broad base of expertise across the financial sector, spanning investment banking, corporate finance, capital markets and strategic advisory.

 

He currently serves as Chairman of the Investment Panel of Urusharta Jamaah Sdn. Bhd., a position he has held since May 2021, where he provides oversight and guidance on investment strategy and portfolio governance.
