Małgorzata Matyas-Demska
Félix used to be one of my very first trainees back in 2013 and up till now I smile when I think of him. He has been a swift learner, able to comprehend complex cases and focus on the big picture as well as on the details. Félix has a positive can-do attitude and possesses natural ability to provide top-quality service and support to customers. I have no hesitation in recommending Félix and know that he will always give of his best in any endeavour.
