I have worked with Astrid implementing our medication dispenser product in Montreal. Her attention to details and her process oriented mind were a key as she continued to develop the necessary new processes to support the service. Astrid represented well our Montreal office and staff in meetings and projects where she brought forward many local concerns and worked diligently at finding the support her team needed. I have no doubt that Astrid will move on to be a great leader and manager in her future endeavors.

Astrid is an excellent project manager who has organized several successful events for our cultural society. She pays close attention to the details as well as to the overall objectives. She also takes into account the perspectives of others with the result that everyone involved finds it a pleasure to work with her.
