Bio
Paul Hackett
Florent was engaged by our marketing team to complete a business development project in France with the specific aim of building our prospect list on the back of our two recent successful French Insurer projects. We work in the field of digital processing of medical underwriting information. It is a complex topic but Florent understood the concept quickly and was soon engaging senior people at those Insurers in France who will benefit from our solution. I found him to be extremely professional and thorough in his research and contact strategy. The exercise has provided me with a number of strong connections to follow up on and we are already in discussions with more potential users of our solution in France.
