I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Patrice over the last 10 years -as a valued colleague on the European Services leadership team, and more recently in his Industry Director role where he was an internal customer requiring compliance support. I regard him as a flexible and dynamic manager displaying the full range of leadership skills - pragmatic, innovative with an abundance of commercial "savvy" and a true change agent and leader. He has broad cross functional knowledge and would recommend his business experience as a tremendous asset in any senior commercial management role.
