Bio
Mooza Mohd
Jothy is an excellent manager throughout the time I was reporting to her. She understands how to get the best out of people across all backgrounds/experiences and I felt supported while working in her team - especially during the pandemic. She was responsible for curating and managing several amazing educational and skills development projects that I was privileged to be part of - most of them requiring the ability to deal with time-sensitive deliverables and crisis in high-pressure situations. Jothy's energy to make things happen was contagious and it inspired us achieve great goals together. Her supportive presence extends beyond her own team and I learned a lot about leadership from her. I consider her one of the best managers I've had for sure.

I have always liked interacting and working with Jothy! It was a pleasure to work with her in Malaysia and establish WF’s National entrepreneurship Network. She has amazing people skills and takes ownership, pressing ahead immediately to get results. Her constant support, proactive nature and strong relationship management skills makes her a very approachable colleague and friend. She networks effortlessly and is quick to adapt to changes in plan and implementation. I have learnt many things from her! Apart from being diligent and responsible, Jothy throws in the element of fun while at work, which makes the experience enjoyable. She is sensitive while also being a strong leader. An important asset to any organization she works for! If I were to get a chance to work with her again, will be happy. Wish her the best always in all her endeavors…
