Jacob Joh

Maxim was a Trade Commissioner at the Canadian Embassy in Korea when I first met him to discuss possible business opportunties. His sincerity and dedication to everything he does was impressive and I'm very pleased to recommend him to anyone looking to work with him. Those who are fortunate to have an opportunity to work with him will find him hard working and very enthusiastic.

Maxim is a dedicated and focused professional with excellent ability to learn, develop and adapt. While he is a team player, Maxim is also capable of individual decision making, and enjoys new challenges. He functions well in a multi-cultural environment.
