Talented Guyana Jaguars all-rounder, Keemo Paul was on Friday endorsed as brand ambassador for V-Net Communications.

In his remarks, Sheriffuden said his company had made a commitment to Paul many years now to always assist him to develop his game both on and off the field. “It’s an honour to have Keemo as brand ambassador of V-Net. After he [Paul] recently made his First Class debut, we thought it best to add some more exposure to him by making him the brand ambassador of V-Net where he will be responsible with promoting the image of the company in a positive way, which will help him to develop his character off the field,” a happy Sheriffudeen said.
V-Net provides satellite internet to remote communities in Guyana and offers a satellite phone service as well and their new brand ambassador will among other duties proudly promote and market the company’s products and services.
In response, the 19 year old Essequibo cricketer said he was overwhelmed to be chosen as brand ambassador of V-Net Communications. He thanked the company for the support over the years and said “the bond we share makes us like family.” He said through work and dedication anything is possible since he never dreamed while growing up in Saxacalli that he will be a brand ambassador. Paul went on to thank his parents, residents of Saxacalli and Wakenaam and Sheriffudeen and staff of V-Net for the support over the years and pledged to represent the company to the best of his ability and to be a good role model for the youngsters through continued hard work.
V-Net Communications have also assisted other sporting bodies and recently became the title sponsor of a tapeball team now known as the V-Net Vipers. Vipers’ captain, Siddiq Mohamed was also on hand and spoke of the early years of seeing Paul grow up in front of his eyes in Wakenaam. He congratulated the very talented cricketer for becoming brand ambassador for V-net and wished Paul and V-Net well for the future citing that they must both keep on climbing the ladder of success. Paul was part of the Guyana under-19 team that won three consecutive regional titles from 2014 and was also part of the West Indies under-19 team that won the youth world cup in 2016. In 2017, he made his First Class debut in Trinidad playing for the eventual winners, Guyana Jaguars. Many legends of the game have publicly spoken of his talent and potential to become a great player including former West Indies fast bowler now a leading international commentator, Ian Bishop.
