"With the change of generation, I am creating a long-term perspective for my company. I am certain that in Joy Edwin Thanarajah, who has an excellent understanding of our corporate culture, I have chosen the best person to lead our traditional brand into the future”,

We have been supporting medium-sized international companies and corporations for years and have a great deal of experience in finding modern leadership personalities who are resilient to crises and can therefore support a generational change”,
