Bio
Serge D.
I worked for Esteban for two extremely enjoyable, sometimes stressful and absolutely enlightening years. I arrived as a "green" Australian and he left me as a kind, considerate, astute multicultural, multlingual leader - characteristics I learnt from him. He coaxed out my strengths and ironed out my weaknesses, all with a corporate humanity often lacking in an increasingly mentor-less professional landscape. Very rarely can I say that I learned alot in a role professionally and personally but in this case I can, and this is due to the guidance I received from him.
