Discova is happy to announce the appointment of Rayner Kiew as the company’s new Country Manager for Malaysia. With over ten years in the hospitality industry, Rayner has a wealth of experience in business development, hospitality leadership, and strategic growth, making him a fantastic addition to our team.

Rayner has joined us with ambitious plans to help put Malaysia on the map as a must-visit destination in Southeast Asia. He is excited to be part of a team that is incredibly passionate about creating travel experiences that make a difference.  

He informs, Discova’s focus on cultural connections, sustainability, and meaningful journeys is something I truly believe in. With over a decade-long experience in the hospitality industry, I’ve invested a lot of time in creating strong partnerships and leading teams to deliver great results. I’m looking forward to bringing that experience to Discova as I believe in collaboration, innovation, and doing things the right way. I can’t wait to work with the team to create journeys that inspire travellers and support local communities. 

A native of Sabah, Rayner is also known by his nickname Ray and describes himself as a total foodie. According to him, sampling local street food is the best way to discover a new culture.  

Especially about his hometown of Sabah, he says, “Food isn’t just about taste; it’s about connection, tradition, and storytelling. Sabah is a melting pot of cultures, and this is reflected in every bite, making it an ultimate gastronomic playground. If you’re ever in Sabah, I would be thrilled to take you on a journey through bustling markets, hidden gems, and seaside treats, and you won’t be disappointed!”
