I have the pleasure of working with Tony Antoury at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy. He exudes calmness, which is very helpful in stressful situations. He is very respectful and is always willing to help others, whether by lending a helping hand or by listening and giving advice to one’s concerns. This makes him a very reliable and trustworthy person. Furthermore, he has this desire to learn continuously, which he does through analysing data and drafting reports on a regular basis. Finally, Tony does all this while being a master at managing his time well and meeting the deadline.

Having worked with Tony on various topics, I can say he is dedicated and diligent. Tony has a keen eye for detail and a comprehensive approach to working. I was able to learn much from him. Besides his skill, he is a wonderful colleague that values team work which is an added benefit to any organisation.
