Bio
Rob Frost
During my time as Joei's colleague, he consistently demonstrated himself to be diligent, hard-working and knowledgeable, whilst always maintaining a positive attitude. Joei's work in communications at UNCDF was crucial to maintaining a high standard of public relations and he was a great help to me personally in my first few weeks at UNCDF.
Charles Alexander
Joei is a dedicated employee and hardworking colleague that has played a crucial role in our daily operations and sales as a branch and a business. During his time with us, he quickly developed the strong business acumen needed and surpassed all sales expectations that were required of any individual in this company. Furthermore, he is very courteous, likeable, and warm to the team and consistently employs strong interpersonal skills when working with fellow staff and clients. As such, he is a joy to work with and a regular stand out performer in the office. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
