Leadership, Integrity, Commitment & Trust. Anoop is a talented Leader with a detailed understanding of Finance, Process, Operations & Teams. Intellectually smart, with a practical ability to combine teams to deliver outstanding results. He has an established record in high growth companies and has been at the centre of delivering exponential results in demanding and dynamic environments. A team player, a trusting individual who has earned the respect of all those in the business around him. Not only does he give 110% he also engages those around to give 110% and challenge the norm to make it exceptional. I'm honoured to have worked with him for over a decade.
