Devraj Poonen

My journey started in 1994, I began as a wage administrator and worked/studied to the position of Corporate Services Manager. This position was basically the heart of the company. I was responsible for Human Resources, Administration and Finance.

The experience acquired gave me vast knowledge in company management at a very high level, not to mention the professional aspect because of its Multi National status. I have been privileged to visit my previous company Head Office in Paris (France), because of the achievements, my team and I shared. I also attended a tax seminar in Belgium and visited the European Union in Brussels.

I am a hands-on person and a team player; I am also willing to adjust and learn on an ongoing basis depending on the current Company's vision and goals.
