Je connais personnellement Leonardo depuis de nombreuses années. À part d'être un ami inconditionnel, il est une personne très professionnelle, avec une immense capacité de leadership et un excellent gestionnaire. Son évolution professionnelle depuis son arrivée au Canada est un exemple pour tous les immigrants car il a su comment se positionner dans son domaine.
