Bio
Stefan Achard
Saeed est un individu plein d'énergie positive qui n'a pas peur d'aller au devant des gens et d'avancer. Je travaille régulièrement avec lui pour échanger sur des idées et bâtir des contenus en gestion du changement. Son expérience en formation et sa soif d'apprendre font de lui un allié important. Saeed is a smart and reliable individual. He gives his 100% and really completes all he works on with quality. I think of him more than someone I am mentoring as he also brings me fresh ideas and helps me grow. Working with him is how a true collaboration works. Any organization having him will see he is a team player and a key contributor to the company's growth.
