Staff Testimonials
My two years with Lotus Capital has been full of amazing experiences and transformation in both my professional and personal life. This can be attributed to the company’s culture which promotes continuous learning. I have participated in several trainings which have empowered and equipped me for growth. I am greatly moved by the company’s core value of DYNAMISM; which made me daring to deliver and achieve great results. In a nutshell I feel valued, safe and proud working with Lotus and I look forward to enjoying many more years with my present employer.
I started working in Lotus Capital with the dream of climbing the corporate ladder and helping the company build a lasting brand in its niche of providing Islamic Finance. Lotus Capital created a path for achieving this dream by providing a conducive environment in terms of adequate training, creation of a career pathway and the opportunity to showcase one’s competence. I have benefited through these opportunities to rise through the corporate ladder from the position of an analyst to a management team member, while also revitalizing to uphold the core value that makes the company a house hold name in the Islamic Finance industry.
Being part of the Lotus Team has really been an incredible and amazing experience for me. As someone who holds ethical values in high esteem, the mission and core values of the organisation are properly aligned with my career goals and principles. Prior to joining the team, I was a bit sceptical but all through my years of working, the organisation has never derailed from its mission which has been a major drive for me. Lotus Capital is not just an organisation of people working together, it is an ethical community and a family, and I am proud to be part of the family.
