Alban DELAUNAY

Pour avoir travailler sur des nombreux événements avec Owen pendant les deux dernières années, je ne peux que souligner sa gentillesse, son professionnalisme, ses qualités relationnelles et son envie d’apprendre et de partager. Un élément précieux, notamment lorsqu'il s’agit de mettre en avant son pays de cœur, Malte.

Emmanuelle LE BRIS

Owen fait preuve d’un reel leadership. Il sait partager ses connaissances, il sait ecouter , comprendre et conseiller avec doigte et respect. Son humour et son optimisme complete un tableau tres prometteur.
