Carmen Lee

Carmen Lee is a forward-thinking person with a deep passion for redefining how people connect with nature through tourism. With over six years of experience in the advisory industry, she brings a dynamic and solutions-oriented mindset to her role on RIDC’s Board.

Energetic and entrepreneurial by nature, Carmen plays a key role in overseeing RIDC’s operations and ensuring the organisation remains focused, agile, and aligned with its mission. Her background in business administration supports her strategic approach to planning, stakeholder engagement, and cross-functional coordination.

Carmen is particularly driven by the opportunity to help shape a new wave of outdoor experiences in Malaysia — where modern comfort meets the raw beauty of nature. Her love for travel and ocean-inspired getaways fuels her vision of accessible, inspiring recreational destinations that connect people with the outdoors in meaningful ways.

“I’ve always been drawn to the ocean, it reminds us to slow down, breathe, and be present. At RIDC, I want to bring that same feeling to the outdoors, creating places where people can escape, recharge, and truly connect with nature.” — Carmen Lee
