Bio
Peter Komarkowski
It is not easy to sum up Paula in a few sentences, but I shall try. Paula was an integral part of Vital Media Security (VMS). She was instrumental in so many parts of the business, accounting, HR, operations, and always looking to provide input to continuous improve VMS. The best way to sum up Paula is that she is a consummate professional, coach, mentor and a complete business all-rounder. It is a pleasure to work with Paula as you will always get honesty, objectivity and a heap of practical hands on experience. Your professional career is a collection of knowledge learnt, experience gained and attributes taken from the good guys/gals you have worked with. If the opportunity presented itself again, it would be a pleasure to work with Paula again in the future.
