Olivier was a key member of a high-performance team brought together to deliver one of the most ambitious B2B eCommerce programs going on anywhere in Canada. A consummate self-starter, smarter-than-a-whip, and a genuine team player, Olivier is a dynamo who never missed exceeding my expectations. To top it off, he's a really great guy to work with.
Ron De Giusti
Olivier's overall, practical understanding of implementing digital marketing tactics at Knowledgetech was invaluable.
