Guyana and West Indies all-rounder Keemo Paul continues to make strides off the field as he lays the early foundation for life after cricket.
Recently, his long-time supporter, V-Net Communications, which has rebranded to V-Net Technologies, elevated the cricketer from Brand Ambassador to Director of Public Relations.
According to a release from the 25 Delph Street, Campbellville, company, Paul is elated to take up more responsibility in the new role.
“I consider V-Net my family. They have supported me since inception, and the experience has been invaluable. Since officially joining the company as a Brand Ambassador in 2017, it has been extremely fulfilling,” Paul explained.
He added, “Just as with my cricket career, I want to take on new challenges, and with the company’s forward trajectory, I grabbed at the opportunity to operate in this new role. I have learnt a lot from playing cricket around the world, and the business of sport, and I firmly believe it will give me a unique viewpoint to promote our V-Net brand.”
V-Net Technologies has over the years extended a benevolent arm to many young cricketers, especially those from Essequibo, where the company has its roots in Wakenaam.
Chief Executive Officer Safraz Sheriffudeen indicated, “I have seen Keemo grow as a boy to a father and to be a critical thinker. It is a trait he showcased since his early days in the park, and I believe that his passion for the sport brought him success.”
The CEO further elaborated, “As a Brand Ambassador, Paul has given tremendous insights and a refreshed view to marketing, which has brought tremendous brand awareness. Like his quest to evolve as a cricketer, I know his passion for business development. We as a company were unanimous that he was the best fit for this new role as we grow and form new alliances in the corporate world.”
