Volga-Dnepr Group and ABC would like to thank Robert for his seven years of hard work during which he took up the challenging positions of VP Asia and Pacific, and Commercial Director Global.

It has been a privilege for me to have worked for ABC over the past 7 years, and to be given the opportunity to lead a very strong and capable team in Asia.”
