The executive team has been very supportive and made the transition seamless and comfortable, which I am grateful for. I am also able to share my knowledge and experience with my respective teams who share my passion and energy. Looking ahead, I am excited to continue with the implementation and execution of various initiatives commenced with during the past few months and as such, I hope to make a contribution to ensure that the legacy of the company can continue well into the future. This will also afford me the opportunity to grow and learn."
