Brief summary of my professional career.
My name is Paul Vincent Cox, and I hold a South African passport . I currently reside in Somerset West . I am married.

After that, I spent 2.5 years at Direct Axis, working in the unsecured lending environment and collaborating with leading corporates such as First Rand, WesBank, ClMore...
