Today, I am co-founder and CEO of a start-up called
Otomate Me, and play a multi-faceted role in the
business. My job requires me to wear many hats,
from working in business development to marketing
direction. My arts degree gave me the opportunity to
broaden my horizons intellectually by critically
dissecting real-world events. It attracts individuals
who are inquisitive by nature.”

NURTURING
CREATIVE
LEADERSHIP
With its focus on strategic, lateral thinking, an arts and social
sciences degree forms the perfect springboard for creative
leadership. Graduates learn to think in fresh, versatile, and unique
ways that enable them to pioneer solutions to real-world issues,
confidently lead teams and departments at major organisations,
and leap headfirst into their very own entrepreneurial ventures.
I regularly work with very large sets of data
and draw insights from them, a skill learnt at
Monash that allowed me to navigate through
the industry skillfully. The adaptability of my
Bachelor of Arts degree allowed me to learn
the business and management aspects of my
job, while the communication and people skills
kept me in good standing with all of my clients.
I was an unorthodox hire at PwC, but managed
to impress my employers by bringing new and
fresh perspectives to the industry.”
KELVIN TAN KUAN FOOK (Malaysia)
Bachelor of Arts (Global), Double Major in Communications and International
Studies (2011)
Co-founder of Project ID: Impianku Destinasiku
Kelvin works with clients in distribution network strategy, organisational
restructuring, post-merger integration strategy, public policy advisory and
sustainability. He is the co-founder of ‘Project ID: Impianku, Destinasiku’,
which teaches students from challenging backgrounds to set meaningful
goals and become leaders in their own right.
My experience with Monash was wonderful. That
was why I continued with my Master of Arts in
Communication and Cultural Studies, a year after
I graduated from my Bachelor degree, on a part-time
basis, while I was already working. Monash does not
prepare us for the working world through
spoon-feeding, but instead deepens our thinking and
conception on how we relate to things around us.
[At Monash], I got to discover the answers to my
questions through freedom in learning, researching
and experimenting.” Monash Malaysia has taught me how to think
critically, write persuasively, and speak clearly.
These are lifelong skills that prime you for a
promising career in any workplace environment
no matter what industry or sector.”
