Working with Kenneth was an absolute pleasure. He is excellent at what he does. He pays attention to detail and strives to always deliver his best. He has a good ability to apply his technical knowledge to customer problems. He always provided a thorough explanation to technical queries in a manner that impressed customers with his knowledge and expertise on microwave/transmission networks. I could always rely on Kenneth to go the extra mile especially when dealing with customers. In addition, Kenneth also has a very good business acumen and excellent understanding of financials which makes him a very competent individual.

I did hire Kenneth when I was the VP Africa at CBNL because I have been working previously with him at Alcatel-Lucent and I knew very well the value he will bring. Kenneth has an in depth technical knowledge of Microwave systems and alway eager to learn more. He is showing a lot of rigour in his work and takes always the customer requirement into account. He is also a team player and is well perceived by his peers.
