I am very excited for and proud of our Head Trainer, Justin Rono, for achieving this milestone! HPA is better because of our leaders like him who dedicate themselves to excellence and constant improvement!
CEO who values the perspective of all who are willing to unite to exceed expectations. Driven to bring value every day.
Congratulations to our very own Head Trainer, Justin Rono, on passing his Examiner test!! This means Justin can now certify managers and trainers for our franchisees without the need for one of our examiners to fly in from Singapore or Japan. This makes the U.S. team fully self reliant now. We are so grateful for all of the support from our colleagues from Asia on all of the training evolutions and new store opening support and so much more along the way! This is a milestone worth shouting out proudly!!
