Guy-Patrick KOUADIO
Accra
Summary
Dependable Agronomist with a positive attitude, a broad experience of the field, abreast with the life as expatriate and willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
Comfortable working with people but also alone. Seven years ago, victim of a road traffic accident that led to an impaired left arm but did not suppress the motivation to deliver excellent professional services.
Family man seeking a full-time position that can offer the possibility to play a significant role, helping solve problems, using the competences developed through the years.
Helping others to grow in professional maturity and responsibility is also a noble goal. Last and not the least, the work and life in two different linguistic environments (French / English) is a plus, as is the confidence with numbers, being a fan of Mathematics since the high school's years.
