Gihan is one of the most passionate colleague who I have worked with in my career, his ability in finding creative and out of the box solutions in beverage innovation and training are ingrained in his personality. His interpersonal skills allow him to connect with all team members Senior or Junior at a personal level and this has helped him coach and train large teams at Costa Coffee UAE. Gihas's interest and passion towards the coffee industry has rubbed off many baristas and has helped them achieve greater heights for themselves within the industry I am personally very proud of Gihan's evolution from being a coffee enthusiast to a professional expert and wish him the very best in his future endaevours
