Zaim Mohzani
Zaim Mohzani is currently pursuing his Master's degree in international strategy and diplomacy in the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) under the Chevening Scholarship, awarded by the UK Government's Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He is passionate about building the next generation of leaders. His research is on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on international relations, specifically exploring the viability of an AI arms control between the major powers, namely U.S., China and Russia.
Zaim has 7 years of professional experience in innovation management, business development and entrepreneurship. He was most recently attached to the Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC), a government agency mandated to inject innovation in the entrepreneurship ecosystem. Zaim focused on promoting corporate-startup collaboration prominently through managing a national open innovation platform to connect both sides. Prior to that, he gained tri-sector exposure having worked as a community manager at a tech startup, an aide to a minister and a program officer.
While working a full-time role, Zaim found time to establish 3 non-profit organisations that have impacted over 5,000 youths in Malaysia. His three organisations, namely Perdana Fellows Alumni Association (PFAA), Nation Building School and Malaysian Youth Diplomacy (MyDiplomacy) have won awards for its youth empowerment initiatives. He has a keen interest in international relations having been selected for the US State Department’s Professional Fellowship Program and the ASEAN Youth Fellowship by the Singaporean government.
In addition, Zaim contributes to the growth of the youth ecosystem through a number of advisory positions. He sits on the Board of Trustees of Impact Malaysia (a government agency) and chairs the Supervisory Group for AIESEC (world's biggest student-run organisation) in Malaysia. In addition, Zaim is an Industry Adjunct Faculty Member of INTI International University.
A Monash University graduate from Australia, Zaim majored in political science. He spends his limited free time reading books on politics, travelling and attempting to write rap rhymes.
