Bio
Mark Reynolds
Andre is a strong leader whose Change and Project Management skills are transforming elements to both driving individual performance and organizational resolve to achieve sustainable profitability. I feel priviledged to have experienced his comprehension of industry, his ability to integrate diverse discipline groups required to support initiatives in a multi cultural enviroment and his naturally instinctive drive to secure mutually rewarding results.
Noel Jensen
Andre is a change agent in every positive sense of the word. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and an excellent communicator. I worked with him during a time when the Zurich organization was preparing its IT organization to go through some very difficult changes. It was a great experience and an opportunity to learn change management skills at the feet of a master.
