Recommendations

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Charnay for the past few years and found her to be a very dedicated and conscientious where her work is concerned. She has a pleasant disposition and has always conducted herself in a professional manner. She is very knowledgeable in her field of expertise and I can recommend her to any company looking for these qualities in an employee, Mosima, First Technology, 10/10/12
  • Just Brilliant Charnay is one of the most diligent and reliable people that I know, when we lost her as our call center manager we nearly fell apart and nothing was ever the same again, was a very sad time, I would recommend Charnay to any company or organization seeking an individual that stands out above the exceptional and has all the qualities of a great leader., Senior to Quintin, CPC Plus Solutions, 11/19/14
  • Charnay was my team leader at FNB ISS department. She came in to the position with little knowledge of our processes and services we offer. I have never seen someone who took it upon themselves to be informed in such a manner. She was up to speed with everything we did, and that showed the team as to the calibre of leader she is. She constantly made sure that she leads by example and she managed in a way that made sure our job functions were made easy to be completed. Her leadership style is amazing and only a few leaders can execute it and she does it effortlessly. She has a strong focus on people and her passion is unmistakable., Senior to Neo, FNB ISS, 01/20/16
