Ammodago was founded in 1995 as a public speaking course by Jim Harvey, together with David Goh. The program was designed to help individuals communicate with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
David Goh later introduced Ammodago to Malaysia, where it was warmly received by the corporate sector and leading organizations. Its practical, results-driven approach quickly established Ammodago as a trusted communication and leadership development program.
In 2015, Christopher Pitchaimuthu, then a engineer, who was also actively involve in training attended the Ammodago Workshop. The experience had a profound impact on him, both personally and professionally—shaping his confidence, sharpening his communication skills, and deepening his understanding of purposeful leadership.
Recognizing the strong values and transformative power of the Ammodago methodology, Christopher felt a deep sense of responsibility to continue and grow the legacy of the program. In 2017, he humbly took over Ammodago International, committed to preserving its foundation while guiding it into its next phase of growth.
