Bio
Cassius Matemba
I have been fortunate enough to have known Tendai first Professionally and then personally. There are few people I have known who have a near perfect balance of tenacity, grace and diplomacy. This allows him have strength of character with poise and intellectual dexterity. In all the years I have known him, I can be sure to have a balanced unbiased opinion on any issue as I know him to be of profound emotional intelligence, whose logic is unphased by the usual pressures of high tempo working environments. He is also an effective communicator with the right measure of words to diffuse any tense atmosphere. As a person Tendai is sincere, loyal and easy to be in the company of. I would highly recommend him to any future employer as he would most certainly be an asset having worked previously within high levels of management.
