Last week, we bid farewell to Asha, a colleague whose remarkable journey has been closely intertwined with the history and growth of SIL.
Joining SIL in 1989, when the company was based at the SICOM Building, Asha dedicated more than 36 years to the organisation. Throughout her career, she served in the Corporate Management Office, Registry Department, Administration Department as Lead Administrative Specialist, and most recently in the Managing Director’s Office. Along the way, she witnessed SIL’s transformation, worked with successive Management Teams, and even shared an office with the current Minister of MITCI during his time at SIL. As Asha likes to joke, she has worked with “future VIPs and leaders” long before they became one!
Reflecting on her journey, Asha shared:
“There were challenges as well as smooth sailing periods. One of my greatest challenges was leading the Administration Department while supporting the Office of the Managing Director at the same time. It has been a privilege to work alongside my wonderful Administration Team, and I truly appreciated the close collaboration with the HR Department.
My heartfelt thanks goes to everyone who crossed my path and contributed to making my years at SIL so memorable. My sincere thanks also goes to Dr. Parmesh Pallanee for the trust and confidence he placed in me to support and manage his office.”
As Asha embarks on a new chapter, we thank her for her years of dedication, professionalism and unwavering commitment.
Thank you, Asha. You will always have a special place in the SIL family.
