Andre recently joined Enable after meeting with the Senior Management team, He commented, “Enable has a well-established reputation in the industry that it’s a truly people-focused organisation and that it values and promote professionalism and customer success. I was inspired when I met the Senior Leadership team and experienced first hand why Enable is worthy of their positive reputation. The clarity of the Enable Vision and Strategy, depth of Leadership and support has made Enable my new home!”
Andre is inspired by a famous Henry Ford quote:
The famous Henry Ford quote, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right,” – I made a key decision early in my career that my own fears and doubt will not govern or restrict me, I adopted a CAN-DO attitude as it primarily determines my own success or failure in life.
On the weekends you will find Andre outdoors – “I have an adventurous spirit and love to be outdoors, I spend weekends on by Adventure motorcycle and relaxing with my family in nature.”
