As it gears up for further outlet growth in Malaysia and the Philippines, the rapidly expanding Malaysian coffee chain ZUS Coffee has named a new Group Chief Financial Officer.
Preman Menon has joined the value – centric operator. He comes with 14 years of experience at professional services giant EY, where his most recent position was Managing Partner for Strategy and Transactions in Malaysia. His financial career also includes senior stints at Grant & Thornton and Tenon Corporate Finance.
Menon shared on LinkedIn, “ZUS is more than just a fast – growing Malaysian enterprise; it’s a brand with an inspiring expansion vision that deeply resonates with me. The chance to be part of its growth, both within Malaysia and in several overseas markets, is an opportunity that fills me with excitement.”
Established in 2019, ZUS Coffee has become one of Malaysia’s largest coffee chains, boasting over 700 stores in Malaysia. It also has 100 outlets in the Philippines and three stores each in Singapore and Brunei.
