“It was a great journey for me” – outgoing MACORP CEO
Having served in the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Machinery Corporation of Guyana (MACORP Guyana) for several years, Guillermo Escarraga will be moving on, effective this month-end.
This publication understands that Escarraga has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Product Support within the MACORP Group.
On Saturday last, the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) hosted a farewell ceremony in Escarraga’s honour, and LGC Secretary Chet Bowling made the following remarks.
“For the last ten years, Guillermo and MACORP, under his leadership and guidance and love for golf, has ensured that MACORP has continued to sponsor golf tournaments, provide monetary and in-kind support to maintain the grounds of our golf club. They have also maintained our sign, put up signs indicating key information at each hole, and (have been) host to the annual MACORP Golf Tournament each year.”
Bowling also noted that, on a personal level, Escarraga shared a love and passion for the sport. He went on to relay that Escarraga has made a great contribution to the game of golf at the LGC, and gave his word that even in his absence, MACORP will continue to host the annual tournaments.
Stating his position, Escarraga said, “I was fortunate to have the chance to learn the game of golf in Guyana. It was a great journey for me. Golf is now part of my life, just like Guyana, and I will always be grateful for the time I spent here. I will miss the course and all the players I played with. We had some keen competition over the years. The Saturday tournament is what I will miss the most, good days bad days, it was all a rewarding experience full of memories. The Lusignan club members are outstanding individuals from whom I learned a lot.”
