Bio
Darren Stanfield
I am happy to recognize Brandon Lau for his outstanding Human Resources Management skills. I had the pleasure of working closely with Brandon for four years at Rogers Retail where he effectively supported the HR requirements of our supply chain Dept. Brandon demonstrated a high level of skill in managing hiring processes that allowed a strong team to be assembled quickly to support substantial growth. Areas where Brandon stands out include; A high level of initiative & leadership, very skilled in a wide range of HR management processes, extremely proactive team player, the ability to deal tactfully and efficiently with difficult situations. Brandon is a professional that I would welcome working with again in the future.
