Utami brings to DLMI a wealth of experience and a strong track record in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, having most recently served as Marketing Director for Consumer Dairy and Specialised Nutrition at Frisian Flag Indonesia. With Indonesia being one of Asia’s most dynamic and rapidly growing economies, her leadership has been pivotal in driving business growth and brand transformation.

During her tenure, Utami led the successful consolidation of multiple Frisian Flag brands under a cohesive umbrella identity—strengthening brand equity, accelerating innovation, and anchoring sustainability at the core of operations. Her strategic direction also contributed to two consecutive years of market share growth.

Before joining Frisian Flag, Utami built an impressive 20-year career at Unilever, where she held key marketing leadership roles across Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asia region. Notably, she served as Fabric Cleaning Director for Southeast Asia and New Zealand and was later appointed to the Board of Directors of Unilever Indonesia in 2019—testament to her exceptional leadership and business acumen.

Her deep expertise in brand strategy, market development, and team leadership will be instrumental in continuing DLMI’s purpose of nourishing Malaysians with trusted dairy nutrition and is poised to steer DLMI into its next phase of growth and innovation.
