Bio
Mustafa Zangana
Few people have the opportunity to work with someone ‘Ridiculously efficient’ like Gillian. Handling multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made an increase in the productivity level of our company. I am impressed by Gillian’s ability to deal with even the toughest clients – effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. I am always in awe of Gillian’s ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas – even people who were initially on completely different pages.
