In addition to being an experienced micro-finance expert, and a well-rounded, culturally aware, multilingual professional, Sébastien is a very effective problem solver and business facilitator, whose persistence, patience, attention to details, and diplomatic touch have proven essential in closing high-level institutional partnerships in the challenging context of post-earthquake Haiti. I truly hope we have the opportunity to work on future projects together. Sébastien is the kind of guy you want on a winning team.
