Bio
Robin Jhingan

Gary provided the support & mentorship I needed to successfully transition & grow further to enhance my career. He has a wealth of knowledge & experience, particularly in coatings & adhesives industry, which was always available for me to pick on when needed. I would certainly not be where I am today without the contribution & influence from Gary upon my career. All the best.
