What happens when a French expatriate comes to Malaysia for work… and ends up building a life and business here?
In the latest episode of BebelHR, I sat down with Benjamin Croc, co-founder and CEO of brioHR, to talk about his journey from Finance SSC employee to entrepreneur in Malaysia.
We spoke about:
• His biggest culture shocks working in Malaysia
• The differences between French and Malaysian work culture
• Why he chose Malaysia and eventually returned after his MBA in Singapore
• Whether immigration policies affected his journey
• The question of “white privilege” in Malaysia
• How brioHR was born
• Why successful people take calculated risks instead of endlessly planning
• His belief that sometimes, the idea picks you
What stood out most was Ben’s willingness to learn from different cultures and experiences.
Many of us think success comes from having the perfect plan.
Sometimes, it comes from embracing our obsession.
