I’ve been working with Leonardo for about a year now and he is a true professional. He has exceptional expertise in sales, customer relations and channel management. He dedicated himself to our business the moment we started working together in Turkish market (he was in İstanbul a week after our first call) and he became not only a great colleague to work with, but also a true friend that I can always rely on. Leo is result oriented, well-organized, positive and methodical. He keeps inspiring me with his self motivation and with his ingenuity when we deal with unexpected setbacks. Beside his professional qualities, he is rock solid as a person. He is a man of his word, he is always on time and he delivers what he promises. It’s hard to find people that you can learn and take as an example and Leo is one of them. It’s a true privilege and honor for me to work with him.

Leonardo was always extremely helpful and willing to go the extra mile to support my team as we looked to expand into new markets/accounts. In addition, he was a valuable contributor to my team´s efforts to introduce new products and solutions to the region, I remain very grateful to Leonardo for the role he played in ensuring we were successful in closing new business.
