My name is Josekutty Manimalethu, but most people simply call me Joe. My journey has been shaped by diverse cultures, meaningful connections, and a deepening understanding of what truly drives people. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce and a Master of Business Administration, with a dual focus on International Business and Human Resource Management. I later complemented my academic foundation with a Post-Graduate Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, broadening my perspective on global operations and organizational efficiency.

While education grounded me, travel transformed me. I have explored countries such as Mexico, Canada, the United States, India, Japan, and Dubai, and each destination has added a new layer to how I see the world. Every trip taught me something about life about people, culture, resilience, and perspective. Over time, I realized that the more you travel, the more you learn to understand people. Perhaps that is why I naturally gravitated toward roles that allow me to work closely with individuals from all walks of life.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds, listening to their stories, and understanding what motivates them. These experiences helped me develop what I consider one of my strongest abilities: the art of understanding people. I believe every person carries a story, and taking the time to see beyond a resume or a title makes all the difference in the work I do.

Outside of work, I love to cook and experiment with new cuisines. I am not a traditional book lover, but I push myself to read consistently just enough to keep learning and stay curious. I approach life with optimistic thinking and a positive mindset, both of which have helped me grow personally and professionally. I also value being a good listener, something I consider essential when working in human-centered roles.

My professional path has been as diverse as my travels. I began my journey as a part-time chef, where I learned discipline, service, and teamwork. After completing my studies, I joined the Saskatchewan Health Authority as a Scheduler, later advancing to Administrative Assistant, where I supported operations in a high-demand healthcare environment for two years.
I then relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia, where I worked as an HR Administrator at Paradox International, strengthening my capabilities in HR processes, employee support, and organizational coordination. My professional journey eventually led me to the United States, where I joined Mangowellness in Orlando, Florida, as an HR Operations Coordinator, further expanding my experience across HR operations, employee engagement, and cross-functional collaboration.

Looking back, every role, every country, and every person I met has shaped who I am today. My life story is still being written, but one theme remains constant, people. Understanding them, supporting them, and helping them find the right opportunities is not just my profession; it is the path I was meant to follow.
