Bio
Emmanuel Voet
Léonce and I have worked together for about 8 years. In 8 years time, of course, the type of work and the type of working relation has tremendously evolved. But along the 8 years I can affirm that Léonce multiple times importantly contributed in enabling great achievements in our activity, that Léonce participated at all levels and on all aspects of our activity life cycle : from support to business or software deep analyses, from business critical algorithm elaboration, design to implementation with excellent results.
Christian Devisch
As EX-PM in several ATM projects, Leonce was mainly our mathematical brain on these projects, he resolved very quickly the most complex calculations and analyzes. Even his estimations made on future developments in the ATM were quite accurate. But beyond these values Leonce is a very social person and always motivated, working hours were not taken into account by him. We will miss you Leonce, good luck in your future job.
