In an industry long defined by technical precision and hard infrastructure, few would imagine that a woman could reshape its direction with quiet strength and unwavering clarity. While many companies were still searching for trends or waiting for the right moment, Sharon Mak May Cheng was already standing at the threshold of Malaysia’s digital, automated, and sustainable future. With sharp intuition and systematic thinking, she positioned EI Power Technologies Sdn Bhd as a long-term strategic partner capable of growing alongside the nation’s most critical industries.

EI Power Technologies Sdn Bhd specializes in high-reliability power engineering solutions for mission-critical facilities, including data centers, manufacturing plants, and large institutions. The company also leads in renewable energy, particularly Solar PV, offering Zero-Capex, PPA, and BOO models that significantly reduce the financial barriers to adopting sustainable energy. What complements this is a comprehensive energy-efficiency and management ecosystem by integrating engineering expertise, long-term cost savings, and intelligent monitoring to help businesses enhance operational stability and gain a stronger competitive footing in the ESG era.

Sharon Mak May Cheng’s entrepreneurial journey began with a clear insight that Malaysia’s next decade of industrial transformation would require a more stable, sustainable, and cost-efficient energy landscape. Yet the market remained anchored in outdated systems, treating power infrastructure as mere equipment rather than long-term strategic assets. With a broad, holistic view, she recognized a critical gap that enterprises did not lack suppliers, but they lacked an energy partner who truly understood their pressures, growth trajectory, and future needs.

Instead of following the market, she anticipated it. Instead of scaling quickly, she built a solid foundation. As industries demanded higher reliability, she led EI Power Technologies Sdn Bhd into the most rigorous mission-critical sectors and earned trust under the industry’s most demanding standards. When data centers became the backbone of the digital economy, she was ready. When ESG took global precedence, she again advanced the company toward innovative financing models that made sustainable energy practical and accessible.

For Sharon Mak May Cheng, technology has never been cold machinery, it is a strategic lever that shapes a company's future competitiveness. Under her leadership, EI Power Technologies Sdn Bhd evaluates how energy affects costs, growth, and resilience across economic cycles. She strengthened the company’s financial discipline, ensured consistent engineering delivery, and built a stable, scalable business model that withstands market volatility.

Today, EI Power Technologies Sdn Bhd is trusted not only for its solutions but for its dependability, a quality Sharon Mak May Cheng instilled from the beginning. She leads with calm confidence, protects value through integrity, and reminds her team that business exists to help others move forward stronger and steadier. She also extends her commitment beyond business by supporting people-centric NGOs.

As she stands on the stage of the 13th Golden Phoenix Awards as the recipient of the Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards 2025, she represents more than business success. She represents a powerful form of female leadership with intuitive, resilient, steady, and deeply thoughtful. Her journey proves that women do not need to imitate others to excel. They lead with clarity, compassion, and a strength that is both enduring and transformative. Sharon Mak May Cheng embodies this strength in an admirable, complete, and undeniably inspiring way.
