Pedro Sottomayor

From day one to the last day, during two months, Thaer developed a business plan, aiming very high, in a great company, with a great team and a project, which culminated in a brilliant presentation. I do believe that Thaer is one of those rare talents from whom we will see great achievements in the future. He has a charming character, a solid and courageous attitude, always looking for excellent and targeted solutions in a creative way. He brought added value to the project and the company, by deriving from various sources of his vast professional experience, and applying fresh paradigms of his ongoing business degree. I wish him all the best in his future professional challenges

I have worked with Thaer at the AP and at Thomson Foundation. He is a talented and knowledgeable producer with considerable depth due to his Media and Communication studies, his independent film making experience, and his journalism work. He also understands different cultural contexts. Thaer has a good working ethic, he is communicative, and he works well in a team. He does not compromise on quality and is driven. The last time we worked together, Thaer worked independently and delivered high quality work on time. He is also an amicable person that will get on well with his colleagues. Thaer is ambitious and committed to his career and can bring a rich palette of skills and experience to any venture.
