Notable Achievements: When I was managing operation leads, I mentored them and exposed them to challenges where they would obtain a lot of learnings. When my operations lead was awarded as MVP for the year (awarded only for 4 out of 2000 employees).
Failures (if any?): My biggest failure was when I failed the ACET. It really changed my future and there were very rough times at the start but was able to recuperate.
Dark Secrets (if any?): I was not able to keep one since I tell a lot about myself.
