Gerhard Kruger has been employed by our company from January 2004 though to November 2004 and held the position of Technical Development Engineer. In this role, he had responsibility for consulting, training and implementation of ContinuumRG software with our large national clients. During this period Gerhard was also responsible for the internal IT infrastructure. I had close direct interaction with Gerhard as this was a new product geing introduced and on these three vectors we access staff(being technical skills, attitude/internal motivation and client assessment) he rated excellent on all of these. He was seen as a rapidly rising key resource and we were extremely saddened when he left us.
