If you’re looking to work with someone who can help you reach your full potential in any IT project, John is that person. I’ve for many occasions interacted with John for several years in the IT industry, and he has greatly played an integral role in helping his peers develop skills in this industry. He positively influenced individual career trajectory and helped build confidence in this challenging field. John did more than just coach peers. He supported them every step of the way and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. A sense of compassion and understanding perfectly complements his business acumen. Thanks to John's mental guidance, sharing knowledges and anyone would be lucky to work with him.

Having worked with Togun at MTN South Sudan and collaborated with him in ICT projects within the company, I must say, John is a technical, hardworking, a quick learner and someone who is always ready to learn new skills onto the skills he already has. Therefore, I would recommend John to any employer that needs a good team player that has all the technical skills in the ICT and Telecom sector.
