Karish Govender

I am an action orientated individual with a sense of urgency, determined in achieving goals whilst never losing sight of the broader picture. I thrive in a cross functional environment that requires interaction with people in different roles and with different skill sets. I am decisive, assertive and fairly toughminded,

this often means that I take the lead in group discussions and decisions.

My aim is to make an impactful contribution to my employer and to climb through the hierarchy to reach a senior position and gain knowledge along the way. This is to be achieved through my performance that will be unwavering.
