Bio
Laëlle Kouadio
The Man of the Big Picture, I worked under the responsibility of Glisson during my internship, especially during major events coordination. I was impressed by his rigorousness, haste and devotion to his management. While working with Glisson, I could testify that he knows how to align his mere tasks to the big picture. I also observed loyalty and integrity no matter the public he addresses. Other than that, sharing with him office is never boring, we work with joy !
