Jeremy Coleman

Etienne demonstrates a capacity to quickly understand the structure and dynamics of an organisation, displaying great insight and developing constructive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders alike. This enables him to scope projects, develop implementation strategies that actually work and see plans through to their conclusion. Etienne displays a professional but approachable demeanour, he influences and persuades effectively, and his academic and professional qualifications point to admirable persistence as well as ability making him readily able to work and be accepted in different environments and to become a valued team member or manager.

I have collaborated with Etienne on several large complex, multi-stakeholder commercial contract negotiations. His ability to professionally explain relevant, detailed contexts to parties assisted us to successfully navigate some extremely politically sensitive hurdles and still achieve favourable and commendable outcomes for all involved. He is an astute and intelligent asset to our team and an expert negotiator of the highest integrity.
