Her Story

About Wissal

I graduated with a bachelor's degree from the College of Staten Island. After that, I started working at Sofitel Hotel as accounts payable and receivable coordinator. Then I joined Gentle Funds, a private equity firm, where I worked with senior management preparing financials for investors. Now at Alas Power, I began as an associate in accounting, was promoted to staff, and am now a senior on the team. I prepare and review financials, help coordinate workflows, hire new people, and focus on training and mentoring.
