Sebastian started his position with Atruent late October 2021. He wears multiple hats and also hold the role of Assistant to the Quality Control Manager.
He ensures that the moral is high within all of Atruent staff and check on them regularly (in a very selfish way since his real motives are belly rubs).
He made it known that our security system was lacking since he loudly let us know when anyone is at the door.
Sebastian holds a B.A. in Cuteness.
