Our Story

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” – Confucius

Work finally didn’t feel like work. And once we found our destination, we found purpose in our niche to help our clients get there too.

Five years, six assignments, six continents, and countless deliveries later, we discovered that our similarities produce a leadership style that motivates people around us, while our differences form a well-rounded combination that drives results. We share vision, relentless commitment to our customers, mastery in our craft, passion for teaching others, cross-cultural understanding, and the ability to not take ourselves too seriously. Our individual strengths combine into the complete package – my talent for analytical strategy and organizational structure wrapped around Lawrence’s operational expertise and entrepreneurial spirit.

Before January of 2012, I could not pin-point Malaysia on a map, nor locate the destination of my run in the corporate rat race. By the end of the month, this private school educated, American girl was seated in a conference room in Kuala Lumpur, when Lawrence, a self-made, Malaysian-Indian walked in and our journey to KANLA SOLUTIONS began.
