They also provide outstanding service to their clients, which is something that I appreciate. I find the company principle of ‘making new things possible and maintaining the highest level of ethical standards’ very inspiring. Also, I had the chance to work with Grant Humphreys and Jean Paul de la Haye in my previous role. They always provided me with support and guidance whenever needed. When I heard about this opportunity, I was incredibly excited. I am very much looking forward to working alongside them once again at Brunner Asia Pacific.
