Bio
olivier jeanneaux
Positive and acting leader . Ola has this tremendous internal energy and optimism typical form great leaders. Not only he knows the business inside and out, but he is also able to consistently drive his team although business climate / condition are always changing. Ola is a reliable, honest and trustable manager. Working with him has been a source of learnings. He is the guy to employ when you need a strong and capable manager. I only can give a 7 years common work I shared with him. And the most important for me .... : Ola cares of his team and this counts a lot nowadays.
Srinivasa Raghavan
Ola is an excellent professional with an ability to solve complex problems with out of the box ideas. I had the opportunity to work with him for 3 years between 2007 to 2010 and it was really a very good learning experience for me. His ability to listen is a great asset and breaking down complex problems into simple actionable items was the most I admired in him. I believe that a true leader is one who seeks help and offers to help others. He does both and a true leader in my thoughts. He is very empathetic and goes the full yard to support and help his peers. A truly remarkable quality I had seen in him. In short he is the epitome of how you want a professional to lead an organisation to greater glory. He will be a true asset to any organisation he is part of.
Steve Powell
Ola is one of the most forward thinking proactive leaders I have worked with. Tireless, passionate, with a fierce determination to develop both an organisation and those individuals within that organisation. It is a pleasure to work with Ola and I would not hesitate to strongly recommend him, he would be a valuable asset to any business.
