Bio
Ruben Barbera Lorca
I had the pleasant opportunity to work closely with Mr. Gamage for two years, during his two year as a part of the Joint Venture between Aitken Spence and Riu Hotels and Resorts. I am pleased to say that Deshan is an excellent team player, a sincere and hardworking individual, and an ideal co-worker. Deshan always did more work, than his share of the work on the projects he was assigned. He often took the initiative to handle difficult projects and picked up new tasks efficiently. I am glad to have work with him, as the management had always praised the assignments we worked together on. I highly recommend Deshan for whatever position he may decide to take up next. He is a talented person and good employee. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Regards,
