As the first born of immigrant parents from the small country of Guyana in South America, he grew up passionate to convert ideas into action and help unleash potential in others as his parents had done for him. His passion for talent development was unleashed during his tenure teaching college courses in Business and Entrepreneurship, where he worked to unleash talent in his students and other instructors that he mentored. Along his teaching path, Virassammy realized he wanted to help organizations progress through talent development. It was in that time he met Gallup Certified Strengths Coach and 34 Strong CEO, Brandon Miller, who was looking for a business partner to launch 34 Strong as Miller wrapped up his Strengthsfinder Certification.

He has worked alongside his team and partners to build 34 Strong around embodying and bringing this statement to life in the organizations they serve.  More information on 34 strong can be found at: www.34strong.com.
