Dr. Arian Hadadin

Dr. Arian Hadadin is a recognized leader in industrial waste management, green construction materials, and mining-adjacent sustainability solutions, with over 15 years of experience in transforming industrial by-products into high-value construction resources. He currently serves as a Board Member of Wadi Araba Minerals Company.

He is the Group Chief Executive Officer of ACE Green and Asas Asia, where he has been instrumental in establishing Malaysia’s largest platform for handling and processing of coal combustion by-products, including fly ash and bottom ash.

Dr. Arian joined the ACE Group in 2010 and progressed through senior roles, including Technical Manager, Vice President, and Group COO, before his appointment as Group CEO. He combines string engineering expertise with commercial execution, building a scalable supply chain and long-term partnerships across power generation, mining-linked industries, cement producers, and infrastructure developers.

Under his leadership, the group has achieved industry-leading outcomes, including the highest volume of fly ash processed in Malaysia, large-scale waste diversion from landfills, reduced cement consumption through engineered SCM substitution, and measurable CO2 reductions across the construction value chain. He has also helped establish a circular-economy model linking power plants, mining-related waste streams, and downstream construction markets.

Dr. Arian is recognized as a practitioner-led executive, focused on delivering commercially viable ESG-aligned solutions at the intersection of mining waste recovery, low-carbon materials, and sustainable infrastructure.

Dr. Arian holds a PhD in Civil Engineering (Materials) from the University of Malaya. His doctoral research underpins a patented industrial ash-processing technology implemented at scale through Asas Asia.
