“The Talent acquisition, training and deployment profession, commonly referred to in these two letters “HR”, is one that requires more than a plethora of qualifications, but heart. Such a heart cannot be taught in any curriculum, it has to come from within. Whilst his competencies and demonstrated qualification track-record speaks for itself, David’s devout commitment to those around him, as he leads by example, makes him a rare type of a Human Resource Practitioner and Executive. After all: people do not levitate towards companies but towards people.
Those entrusted with human capital mandates would do well to borrow a page from David’s many chapters, as he leads through learning & development initiatives and nurturing winning teams, one team member at a time. We count ourselves blessed to have David journey with us, bringing his toolbox of much needed skills with him, as we realise our people centric, tech for social good, objectives, that shape Coronet’s heart-beat and Africa wide priorities. The Africa we want is about people, not just technology, but the people on the path of our impactful tech roll outs”.
