I'm someone who's always believed in team work. Being the HR manager, it comes partly from my responsibilities and partly from my inherent belief in collective growth. My time at AO has been extremely enriching but what I value the most here are the bonds that I've been able to make with people. These relationships are what continue to inspire me and as we march on together, I've no doubt that we are heading towards a future that's brighter than ever before.
