Now in her 27th year at the Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), analytical chemist Sharon Sue-Hang-Baksh has climbed the corporate ladder at the company, where she is now a board member with responsibility for technical services and holds the prestigious title of Master Blender.
Sue-Hang-Baksh, who started as a management trainee in 1995 after graduating from the University of Guyana (UG), is one of three women directors on DDL 10-member board of directors. “I know no other workplace. If I hadn’t liked my job, I wouldn’t have stayed this long. I practically grew up here, honing my skills and learning management practices from among the best on the job. And I have had many jobs in the company so that gave me a wide berth of experience.”
