When we worked together, Christophe was a pragmatic manager who managed complex situations with brio. He is focused and strongly oriented on results, searching and providing efficient solutions which allow him to achieve tough objectives he sets for the business and for himself. I would recommend Christophe for having also a strong ability to develop people he is working with.
