Bio
Eric Renato Perucco
I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Ann, and came to know her as a truly valuable asset to absolutely any team. She is honest, dependable, and hard-working. Beyond that, Ann is an impressive personality with a strong behaviour of empathy who is focused and result driven. Her knowledge of coaching and expertise in business development is impressive and very much appreciated with new business people. She puts her skillset to work to the benefit of her customers. Along with her undeniable talent, Ann has been an absolute joy to work with. She is a true team player, and manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of others. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Ann to join your team. As a dedicated and knowledgeable personality and an all-around great person, I know that she will be a beneficial addition to your projects and organisation.

Openness, honesty and the rare gift of reducing the most complicated issues to a simple denominator and communicating them in an easily understandable way. This is the first thing that comes to my mind about Ann. I met Ann in 2017 at the SwissMedtech Day. Since then we have built up a trusting partnership. Whenever my clients need competitive products and sustainable, future-oriented solutions, I recommend that they talk to Ann. Together with her team she will find the appropriate answers and the customer satisfaction proves me right.
