Renisha sharan Pillay

I have been employed within the Importing Industry for the past 17 ½ years. I worked at R&R marketing for 7 years as a Co-ordinator and Princess Ruby as a Head Co- Ordinator / trainee merchandiser, then employed at Gottlieb Group as a Planner and now currently employed at Fresh Sourcing for 06 years.

I am a very motivated and pro-active individual that has exceptional employee relations ability. I am able to work on my own initiative or as part of a team. I am very accountable with high moral and ethical standards. I am also extremely comfortable in positions of authority where high levels of accountability and moral integrity are essential.

Should you require any more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours Faithfully,
