Bio
Samir Hidjir
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.

She also takes into account the perspectives of others with the result that everyone involved finds it a pleasure to work with her.
