Dans le cadre du partenariat entre nos 2 entreprises, j’ai toujours un grand plaisir à travailler avec Philippe dont j’apprécie ses compétences managériales, de développement commercial Btob en proximité, sa connaissance et son aisance de l’environnement international.

Frédérique Bailly-Gachadoat

I met Philippe through a Master Degree lecture he gave on "Managing a European organization in Asia". Philippe has the special skill to show how Asia is an amazing continent and a lot to provide. He leveraged on his 16 years of management consulting experience in Asia using concrete examples to convince all of us that there are tremendous opportunities to develop thriving business in Asia.
