Armed with an MBA in Marketing, a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering and extensive professional experience he works at Saud Bahwan Group as Deputy Senior Manager at Ford Sales.

 

This Toastmaster is serious yet light. He is a go getter with a deft touch of humor. TM Manoj is one of those who are credible because he insists on setting the track right and capitalizing on his own uniqueness. This year he was flitting like a butterfly as a contestant, mentor and dedicated seasoned toastmaster.  Away from the day to day engagement he is passionate about photography and automobiles the two things his wife envies the most simply because they drag him away from home. 

 
 Let us talk met this passionate toastmaster whose strong determination and will Power set him apart as a role model to share his experience with us. We caught a hold of him at Oman Annual Toastmasters Conference –OTAC 2013 where he was chairing a Table Topic Contest.
