The Board of Cardiff City Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Jalil Rasheed as an Non-Executive Director.
Jalil Rasheed, new Non-Executive Director

Jalil currently serves as the Group CEO of Berjaya Corporation, based in Malaysia. Jalil will help to direct the Club in all strategic decision making and planning, working closely with Tan Sri Vincent Tan, Chairman Mehmet Dalman and Executive Director & CEO, Ken Choo.

Jalil has 18 years of distinguished investment career globally, with firms such as Abrdn & Invesco in senior leadership roles in Europe & Asia. Jalil was also Group CEO of Malaysia’s state investment fund, PNB, the youngest to helm the role at 37 years old.

We’re confident that City supporters will join the Board and Club in welcoming Jalil to this role and look forward to a successful and prosperous future together.

Given his background, I wonder what his objective will be, as

strategic decision making and planning

could cover a range of objectives. Given the senior roles he's had, he won't be cheap so Vincent Tan will be looking for a good return.
