About

I’m Shahrizan Ihsan, an operations, governance, and strategic partnerships professional with 20+ years of experience and 16 years at the Singapore Tourism Board. I’ve led multi-market finance, procurement, HR administration, facilities, and commercial partnership work across Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, and Cambodia—often in a matrix environment with complex reporting lines and no dedicated back-office team.

I enjoy building practical systems that reduce risk and improve decision-making, from governing shared annual budgets and audit-ready procurement checklists to creating an AI-assisted invoice and budget reconciliation tool with human-in-the-loop review. Based in Kuala Lumpur, I’m also an AI adoption consultant founder (NexFlow) and previously contributed to GovTech’s Microsoft 365 Copilot cross-agency focus group, bringing a hands-on, collaborative approach to AI-enabled operations.
