The GoodFellas
behind GAAAINS
GAAAINS came about as a direct result of the passions of its founding directors, Dato' Jeremy Smeeton, Michael Cheow & Michael Hutt.
British born Dato' Jeremy, Southeast Asia-based since 1987, has 25 years experience in offshore fund management. He brings boardroom fluency, investor-world judgment and a global relationship network to the creative arena.
Malaysian born Michael Cheow spent 25 years in the UK having founded top international hair care franchise, C. Michael of London, before returning to Malaysia some 25 years ago to set up factories manufacturing prestigious hair and skin care products.
Michael Hutt, also British, offers a bridge between Western strategic rigour and Asian market nuance, with 15+ years across Europe, the US and Asia. He translates complex corporate identities into high-impact digital narratives for expansion.
The founding members have been firm friends for many years, with collective experience in the development and distribution of a range of specific products across multiple international markets. Each has lived and worked in the UK and Malaysia, and together have developed a solid network of contacts in the corporate & celebrity world across South East Asia and beyond.
