Jonathan has been a fantastic mentor during my experience working for The Parliament Magazine/Dods Group. Being in charge of managing commercial content, he briefs me about each upcoming event to cover with precise detail and always in a timely fashion. With visible high organization and management skills, Jonathan revealed a reachable person, available and with a great grasp of overall EU affairs and policy. Working with Jonathan has been a really good experience and any team would benefit from having him!
