Bio
Mariana Prado Zanon
Richard is a creative thinker who possesses a can-do attitude. He is a pleasure to work with. I recommend Richard for a marketing position at any organization that chooses to take benefit from his diverse skills.
Ludérik Massalve
Pour beaucoup, Richard n’est plus seulement Richard, mais bien Mr Richard. Son origine britannique ne se trahit que par son accent, tant sa maîtrise de la langue de Molière est impressionnante. Mr Richard est quelqu’un de très professionnel, consciencieux, méticuleux et à l’écoute. Il prodigue et répand son savoir autour de lui, et n’hésite jamais à apporter une touche de son humour british qui permet de maintenir un bon climat de travail. Il est donc quelqu’un de tout à fait recommandable, tant au niveau professionnel qu’humain.
