"I first met Renaud at IBM's LotusPhere showcase on January 2008, and at that time he made an intriguing business proposal to me. The basis of the proposal involved the collaboration of our two companies to develop a solution which would be sold by European Telcos. I must admit that I was sceptical in the beginning that we could execute on his plan, but Renaud made me a believer. Over the past two years, his vision, tenacity and good business sense has produced a solution which has been well received by the Telco industry. The magnitude of the task of bringing several dispirit divisions of a global company together and make them execute as a team is no mean feat, yet Renaud was responsible for making this happen. On every occasion where we faced a roadblock, Renaud was able to provide a work around to solve the problem. Renaud is a dedicated, tireless executive, with excellent business skills and industry knowledge. He possesses the drive and tenacity to execute on his own vision or the requirements of the task at hand. It has been a great pleasure to work with him, and I wish him great success in the future".
