I had a great opportunity to work with Ronald Wai at Ontario Education Collaborative Marketplace (OECM). He is a pleasant, supportive, skilled and enthusiastic supplier relationship management professional. His time-management skills, teamwork, fellow feeling, and especially his passion for workplace are some points to be mentioned. In the workplace, Ronald is a brilliant combination of joy, dedication, hard work and professionalism. His integrity, enthusiasm for own work, and empathy for other units in the workplace are some of his significant character traits. He maintains commendable relationship with all the relevant stakeholders. Beside Ronald's strong technical and technological knowledge, I would also like to mention his composed attitude even under pressure, and the capability of problem-solving and detail-oriented approach. He is a good soul, and as a team-mate, he is definitely a must-pick. Wish you all the very best, Ronald! Colleague like you was a blessing indeed!
