Bio
Raymond Tsetsewa
Ridiculously efficient is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Ro Anne. I had the pleasure of working with Ro Anne for three years at the Max ASP South Africa, as the trade floor executive. I was particularly impressed by Ro Anne's ability to engage and have meaningful conversations with c level executives in English, Portuguese, and Arabic across the EMEA region. That skill often takes years to develop among lead generation professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. In addition to being an expert at generating qualified leads for our clients, Ro Anne is also a whiz with the numbers. She was always able to pull together detailed lead briefing documents and forecasts quickly and accurately - no small feat in a company with as many moving parts as ours. I would recommend Ro Anne without hesitation to anyone looking for a talented, bilingual sales professional.

I had an opportunity to work with Roanne at Max ASP Africa and I can say without doubt that she is a determined person who thrives on challenges and can manage new ventures with level head. Roanne has an influence of productivity in every team she's in and leadership and management is definitely the next steps for her. Any company and team she's part of, is lucky to have her.
