Bio
Adam Fabri
I had the pleasure of reporting to Asiff whilst I was working for Komatsu Australia. Asiff was an amazing person to work for but really made me feel like we were on the same level. The exception was that he had a wealth of experience and knowledge that he was always willing and eager to share with everyone to help the team exceed and perform at our best at all times. I am so grateful of his support and guidance, he made me grow and develop so quickly and always felt safe in his hands. Thank you Asiff for everything you did for me and believe that he would be an amazing asset to any team.
