Bio
Vivian Odili-Emmanuel, PMP, SHRM-CP
We meet many people every day, but only some leave the marks, and one of them is Munachi. Munachi was the General Manager for the property company we were leasing. At a time when the relationship between both companies was difficult, I was impressed by his ability to handle the situation calmly and patiently, even in the difficult meetings we had. This natural skill of his helped us navigate through a situation that could’ve gotten out of hand. Munachi made sure that no one leaves the tense meetings without a smile. His unique ability to organize the working process and let his team demonstrate their professional skills’ full extent made him our favorite go-to person. A combination of humor and empathy helps to lift the spirit in stressful situations, and he sure has both. As a leader, Munachi earns my highest recommendation.

I had the privilege of working with Munachi whilst I was employed as the Group Exec Chef of Fahrenheit Hospitality 2014. He has a humble nature and gets the job done exceeding everyones expectations. He always went above and beyond to maintain the Professional Hospitality Mannerism that everyone was looking for. He is really much an allrounder and what ever industry he persues I'm really certain he will exceed their expectations aswell. I wish him all the best and again I was privileged to work beside him. Thank you
