The leadership Jean-Luc has demonstrated has been a refreshing reminder of his high caliber thinking style and very engaging interpersonal style. He demonstrates maturity, enthusiasm and sound judgment in inspiring new ways. He demonstrates a consistently thorough grasp of the science related to any project. Since our work together was primarily focused on new drug development or M&A activity, I gained a deep appreciation for his empathy and understanding of the business aspects. He could evaluate technology scientifically while completely supporting return on investment analyses. J-L is pleasant to work with, drives team progress and cooperation, and leads with enthusiasm. I strongly recommend his work based on our extensive professional experience together.
