Lies Kerrar

J'ai eu l'occasion de travailler avec Roger Karam à diverses occasions et c'est une personne que je recommande sans hésitations. J'apprécie particulièrement sa fiabilité, sa tendance à "donner l'heure juste" et à maintenir des relations d'affaires franches et honnêtes. Il a un sens de l'analyse rigoureux et une qualité de jugement qui lui pemet d'identifier et présenter adéquatement les bonnes opportunités d'investissement dans le contexte difficile des pays émergeants.
