Bio
Martijn Tielens, CFA
As team leader of Baobab Express, Sid was responsible for developing a business plan that could successfully attract investors and launch the venture. He set clear and demanding, yet realistic goals and inspired commitment by not just delegating but also actively helping when needed. He was well organized and managed the team so that everyone’s strengths were well utilized. And while he was demanding he also looks after the interests of those who work for him. A pleasure to work for!
