Bio
Achour M.
There is no better colleague than Yanick. He is one of the most dedicated professionals I’ve worked with and is willing to put that extra help whenever you need it. He is a great manager and an outstanding mentor with a rich experience of 15+ years. He is innovative, organized as well as helpful and is always open to ideas and suggestions. He has made me improve in many professional areas and taught me about leadership skills. His contribution is valuable to the side, and I highly recommend working with a professional like Yanick.

Before I left NagraStar, Yanick and I worked directly together for 9 years. Yanick brings to the table a rare combination of superb technical skills & knowledge, great program management capability, and an easy going & fun personality. Yanick straddles the line between managing projects and actually creating the technical designs & visions behind them, in conjunction with the architects. I always appreciated Yanick's quit wit and sarcastic sense of humor. And you will never find a more enthusiastic skier or mountain biker anywhere (no kidding!). Yanick inspires those around him to do great things, and I will miss working with such a fine professional.
