It is with a very heavy heart that the Adroit Technologies family announces the loss of a dear friend and colleague, Paul Geng aged 39. Paul was killed in an aeroplane accident south of Johannesburg early on 13 December 2009. His funeral was attended by many colleagues, friends and Adroit customers on 18 December at the Fourways Memorial Park. Paul held the position of director of business development and was one of the shareholders of Adroit Technologies.
Paul was a highly respected industry icon, speaking at many events and was a mentor and role model for many who knew him and had the privilege of working with him. He joined Adroit in 1998 as a sales engineer who showed his potential straight away. He later joined the Adroit sales team and became one of the brand and product ambassadors for the company. Paul had recently taken on the responsibility of international business development. He will be sorely missed and remembered for his positive outlook and undeniable passion for life.
