James Lim
Manager
Kuala Lumpur,Wilayah Persekutuan
Summary
My background ranges from retail, business, entertainment, food and beverage industry. Over the past decade I have developed my skills from the roles I have taken up. Leadership and entrepreneurship would be my best attributes. My vision usually comes out of the courage to take considerable risks with careful evaluation. I consider myself a chameleon, or jack of all trades, and I pursue myself to be master of many. I learn fast and I enjoy doing it.
