1)Mac Chung Lynn

       Mac Chung Lynn is the CEO and founder of Nando’s Singapore and Malaysia, a South African food chain. She discovered the brand by eating in a Nando’s store in London while pursuing architecture. When Mac brought in the international Nando’s chain to Malaysia 16 years ago, many sceptics foretold her business would last no more than a few years in the local dining scene. A believer that hard work comes first and that there is no room for failure, Mac, who was trained as an architect, drove the business all the way to success. In year 2008 alone, Nando’s Malaysia raked in RM 48 million in revenue.

        Realizing that advertising and marketing is a very important part in any business, Mac had her company collaborate with Creative Juice and since then, Nando’s Malaysia is also known for its cheeky and witty advertisements.

     Today, the brand definitely has plenty to crow about, with 75 over restaurants nationwide in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca, Johor, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Kelantan, and other country. Plus a few new outlets in Singapore. Mac believes that as people grow increasingly health-conscious, Nando’s will be a preferred name for those seeking healthier dining options.

     Other than nurturing her business, Mac also engages and supports emerging artists and students to come up with Nando’s inspired art pieces as part of the brand’s global art initiative.

       She was also handpicked for the new season of Life Inspired's original series Tastemakers, which recognises the entrepreneurial achievements of innovative business personalities from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
