GREETINGS!
As we close the chapter on 2024, we reflect on the incredible milestones COP has achieved this year.
From remarkable events like the Security Event and COPworld to impressive accomplishments such as receiving the PSI Technical Award, promoting over 10 team members internally, and doubling our adcount, this year has been nothing short of raordinary
also celebrated two years of Haris leading the arge, and it's truly inspiring to see what we’ve omplished together.
we look ahead, the future is bright, and we can fidently say that there’s much more orange to me
