I have had the pleasure of working with Nicolas over the past 7 years. He has provided the very highest levels of customer support throughout that time and is always available to us — regardless of the situation, time of the day, or day of the week. Nicolas has also been a great source of knowledge in many areas of procurement and has been able to provide valuable insights and guidance.
Stephen Blackburne
Senior Vice President, Global Operations & Guest Experience, Hyatt Hotels Corporation
In a short time, I had gotten to know Nicolas well and he became my key liaison to the organization. In my dealings with Nicolas and during our Customer Advisory Board meetings, I found him to be very resourceful, knowledgeable, energetic and most importantly he understood the complicated global procurement issues. He understands business needs and is very adaptable and flexible in his approach. I have no doubt that he can excel in any business setting from the executive boardroom to a hands-on management — he will especially thrive where there is a need for leadership and teamwork.
