Bio
Gilles Almeras
I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Max. I had the pleasure of working with Max for three years at Planisware, collaborating with him on several sales opportunities. Max’s ability to design, develop, and deliver winning value-based software demonstrations allowed us to close several large enterprise deals with top fortune 500 companies. His passion, his vision, and his enthusiasm were key factors to close and win these accounts. No matter how tense and stressful a meeting, Max made sure everyone left with a smile. As a colleague and as his manager, Max earns my highest recommendation.
Dave Penndorf
I directly managed Maxence for a year, and indirectly for 2 more. Max has some truly gifted talents when it comes to communicating software to a prospect/customer. He can break down the customer's requests into the true need by deeply examining the underlying process, breaking it down to its constituent parts, mapping them to the software tools available (bonus: and also imagining tools which are not yet available), and then explaining these back to the customer in a way they are sure to understand. Each time I saw him do this over the years, I walked away impressed. He's also a hard worker, deeply cares about improvement for the best of his own organization (from his colleagues, specific internal ways of working, and on the overall corporate culture), and open to feedback and personal improvement. He will offer ideas towards the solution of any problem and will defend his vision of success professionally, but is able to recognize he's not always right and he will work with the best decision diligently. Oh, and he's a fun person too. I trust Maxence will wow you as much as he impressed me.
