Isabelle Gayot worked as the manager of environmental and social management systems (ESMS) and human resources (HR) for Belize Aquaculture Ltd (BAL) for over a year. During her time at BAL, the company grew significantly and achieved certification for its aquaculture practices. The letter writer, who was the general manager of BAL, states that Isabelle played a critical role in leading the human resources and environmental impact components of the business through this period of high growth and certification. He recommends her without reservation for management positions involving HR and environmental roles based on her thoughtful, reliable, and level-headed handling of managing two departments through the company's expansion.
