TESTIMONIALS

Paul joined my global services team to build on our plan to provide global sales support to our growing customer base and quickly embraced the strategic plan.

Having Paul involved in my project team gave me the trust that the job could get done. If any part of his task was delayed or problematic outside of his control, it was well documented with solutions to get around the problem that involved contacts I would never have known. On a personal note, even when the pressure was on, one could not have asked for a more professional and pleasant guy to work with.

Paul was one of the most inclusive Sales Professionals I have worked with. He had a good rapport with Clients and fostered a great team style with his peers. Together this made a cohesive and focussed approach which won business against a challenging market and strategic backdrop. Paul is versatile, very driven and a clear communicator. He is was very market savvy and not afraid to grab difficult situations by the horns and to tackle them head on. It was a pleasure working with him.
