I worked very closely with Eyassu during his time at Microsoft where he served as Business Development Manager (BDM) in Ethiopia. We also served together on the Leadership Team for the region. I supported him on closing several deals and was always very impressed with his knowledge of the market and his commitment, dedication and tenacity in pursuing and closing on business opportunities. Eyassu is also very passionate about his country and exhibited a deep customer focus. By doing his job well, he was always keen to ensure that the customer always had a positive experience and their overall position was enhanced. I think Eyassu would be an asset to any organization and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I was Eyassu’s direct Manager for about two years in his role as Business Development Manager for Microsoft in Ethiopia. During this time he demonstrated a strong customer focus, sales management skills, executive maturity and collaboration across functions. We were able to build strong customer relations in Ethiopia because of this efforts and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
