Some recommendations
"Stéphane is a highly competent, passionate, committed, faithful worker. He's one of the persons I trust most in Europe concerning RFID, RFID and sensor networks, and the "internet of things" - his knowledge and experience are unique. He excels in the analysis of both technical and business problems but can also deliver very productive syntheses of a situation, thus facilitating and guiding action. I always saw a man capable of working efficiently, systematically and methodically in a timely and professional manner. When we were joining our forces in 2006-2008 to lift the barriers to the deployment of RFID in Europe, and also to promote industry collaboration between Europe and U.S., I could note several times that Stéphane was able to manage multiple tasks through effective planning and time management. He's also an excellent communicator, taking the time to listen to the others and then demonstrating great ability to wrap up a discussion and provide useful guidance."

"I met Stephane the first time during my Bachelor Thesis in 2004/2005 when he presented various RFID solutions to the company I was working for at the time. His professional attitude, the enthusiasm with which he presented the different possibilities to solve the present problems and his way of connecting with the client and identifing his/her main issues left a deep impression with me. Stephane is an avid networker - we stayed in touch and only shortly after, I joined SEEBURGER's RFID team - which was headed by Stephane. That choice provided me the chance to further experience his way of working and the value he contributed to clients during our projects at different client sites. Due to his ability to speak several languages fluently and his intercultural competencies, he successfully managed foreign client relationships (e.g. Korea) for the company, and provided key inputs to various initiatives dealing with standardization issues at the same time. Thereby Stephane was always someone to look up to, especially his negation skills and deal closing abilities were a great inspiration for me and contributed highly to my learning curve. Even a few years later, our paths crossed again at another company and I still enjoy Stephane's generosity when it comes to mentoring questions today. Stephane also took the time and supported my career plans by his judgement and recommendations and was always eager to share ideas of potential future projects. It was a real pleasure having worked for Stephane and I would like to do so again in the future - his experience and his professional and sincere appearance are of true benefit to everyone who is involved with him."
