Columban brings a tremendous blend of personal empathy, managerial care and drive for results. I have seen him lead people very efficiently and enable team members to grow on many occasions, through technical coaching and genuine interest in people. He is a citizen of Europe with true French, Irish and Spanish cultural background + experience of dealing with customers and colleagues in many other countries. His language skills are impressive. His very wide range of interest, enthusiastic but measured personality and personal charm make him someone you want to follow and learn from.<\/p>

Columban m’a accompagn\u00e9 en 2015 durant quelques mois dans le cadre du “Mentoring Excellence Program” d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 chez International Paper, notamment sur la partie manag\u00e9riale et la gestion d’\u00e9quipe. Columban est une personne tr\u00e8s \u00e0 l’\u00e9coute qui a facilement pu me guider et me d\u00e9velopper sur ces sujets gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 multiples exemples tir\u00e9s de son exp\u00e9rience personnelle. Cela a \u00e9t\u00e9 un tr\u00e8s bon moment de partage, une belle parenth\u00e8se apr\u00e8s des ann\u00e9es de collaboration.

Don\u2019t miss this terrific opportunity to work with Columban !!!
I had the great pleasure of working with him on a daily basis during seven years, when he was Export Sales Manager for Western Europe for a major paper company, and I was Divisional Controller. In addition to his obvious technical competencies and his mastering of numerous European languages, he possesses excellent soft skills, capable of working effectively over the long term with people of widely different profiles ranging from strict controllers to highly-creative marketing specialists. I especially appreciated his exceptional sense of humour, which he is capable of maintaining even in crisis situations where all around him are in panic mode.
I wholeheartedly recommend Columban for an activity of multicultural mentoring or interim manager.<\/p>
