Vera Gondard

I reported to Raj for almost a year. Despite the distance, differences in cultures and time zones, he was always available, supportive and insightful. With his global exposure, interesting strategies and sales techniques, he helped the FADV expand the business in EMEA. He is great in following up and ready to assist his teams in all possible means to achieve objectives and meet deadlines. I am thankful for my experience with Raj. He was demanding but fair, his methods proved to be efficient, successful and rewarding. I will benefit for long time from what I have learned from him.
