        I had the good fortune to work on Alex’s team for over a year and a half. He taught me by example what good management is supposed to look like, all while mentoring the team and teaching valuable skill sets that helped the whole department succeed. He empowered my professional and personal growth—and as we all know, that can be a rare thing in work environments. 

I know with certainty that I’m a stronger professional for having worked under his mentorship and I genuinely hope to work with him again in the future. 

Did I mention he is a stellar baker?  Myriam Heili Dumoulin
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        
For almost 20 years Alex has been part of my professional and friendly life, on different continents, then remotely, always with the same loyalty.
We met as mere colleagues, I was a beginner in language testing, I was lost and I will never thank fate enough for having him sitting next to me. His strong skills in  language and computers, combined with his great ability to teach make him an excellent mentor!
Since then, I have continued to work with and for him in the various positions he has held.
As he previously worked as a translator himself, he knows perfectly which are the needs of the linguists he works with. Always patient, he answers all questions and takes the time to explain the processes, tools and what is expected from freelancers.
Our common tastes and our cultural, literary and artistic curiosity, also for other cultures and languages, have enabled us to maintain a solid friendship that can only benefit to our professional relationship.
Working with Alex is more than a chance, it is a blessing for all those who will gain from his numerous talents.
