ABOUT DATIN DR LEEZ HASSAN

Datin Dr Hasnorliza Abu Hassan also fondly known as Datin Dr Leez Hassan is an award winning entrepreneur, author, speaker, mentor, and owner of three successful businesses in three different industries with over 20 years wealth of experience in both the corporate and the business world.

She incorporated the ADLA Business School to empower new entrepreneurs, start ups and future leaders with applicable knowledge and systems so they can start their business on a firm path and minimize the risk of failures in their first three years of venture.

Her research paper entitled “The Growth of the Laundry and Dry Cleaning Business in Malaysia: The Need for Technical Specialization in the Industry” sparked the inception of Sparkleen, a premier brand in dry cleaning and laundry franchisor chain of outlets in 2007.

Her passion for fashion and retail led her to set up Leezarra – a modest fashion and lifestyle brand for the busy modern women. Leezarra thrives through a physical boutique in Ampang Point shopping center and an online ecommerce platform with eyes set on expanding internationally.

Datin Leez is a strong advocate for entrepreneurship and having a work life balance. She strongly holds on to the five pillars of priority in her life, where the Creator is placed first, followed by family and self, and lastly her business and network/social life.

As a businesswoman who embodies the ‘work-life-balance’, further strengthened by an immaculate reputation and years of experience in the business world, her achievements so far would be beneficial and inspiring to the new aspiring entrepreneurs.

She also created a program called ‘So You Think You Want To Be An Entrepreneur?’ and the S.A.F.E.R System business module which she will share it in her upcoming book ‘The Millennial’s Guide to Building Business Right’ to empower up-and-coming millennials as well as women in the business field.

Her mission is to spread her empowering message to the new generations, so together, we can build a better tomorrow, today. She believes that business or entrepreneurship is one of the best ways to achieve a work life balance so people can focus on what matters most-their faith, their family, themselves and the community.

Moving towards her mission to empower women and aspiring entrepreneurs, she was awarded as Ikon Usahawan Memperkasakan Wanita by Anugerah Personaliti Industri & Keusahawanan 2017 and Masterclass Emerging Entrepreneur by Selangor Business Excellence Award 2016.
