Xavier has been a key business partner for Cambridge Associates. His dedication and enthusiasm for INROADS is quite palpable.

He delivered exceptional candidates this past summer and we look forward to continuing our relationship with INROADS. It is a pleasure to work with Xavier.

Xavier is a unique professional who possesses admirable human, managerial and leadership skills. His combination of experiences having worked both in the for-profit and non-profit sectors has given him a keen perspective of their challenges and opportunities. He is an intelligent, disciplined, charismatic, high achieving, benevolent leader that enjoys solving problems and working in team related environments. I can attest to Xavier’s high level performance, sense of commitment and follow through in projects we have worked together. It has been my pleasure to have him in my team and look forward to future endeavors where we can collaborate and work together.
