Bio
Alex Carnevale
Philippe is a high energy and high impact person and is very enjoyable to work with. Philippe has supported me on many initiatives in Etex; he does an extremely professional job at the specific task at hand, and also looks to go beyond by challenging the underlying assumptions and being very curious about the business situation and drivers. At Etex we manage a Capex budget of 150M+ euro/year, and Philippe developed processes and tools that enabled us to evaluate projects and performance in a very streamlined way. He is also a positive person by nature and gives energy to the teams he works with, even when difficult situations arise. I am happy to have known Philippe for the past 4 years.
