Stanley L.

Summary

I’m a well-seasoned and highly motivated individual always motivated and under pressure to successfully execute and achieve results. I possess astute environmentally related experiences in implementing and executing projects, and I have experience contributing to strategic planning while delivering improvements in processes, productivity, and costs. As a Sustainability manager, I supervised and spear-headed with the implementation of various verification climate related projects and programs and as well ensured full compliance by participating stakeholders.
In my previous roles, I have consistently gained respect from both staff and management through effective communication and fostering team spirit for success whiles making strong efforts to foster profitable relationships with customers and strategic partners alike.
I lead with stakeholder engagements to drive and deliver training to field officers and by extension to farmer groups in communities of project beneficiaries.
I am a self-motivated individual, very proactive, team player, highly organised and efficient, solution-oriented, patient, grounded on environmental matters and always eyeing success.
