Tal Ophir
Senior Engineering Manager at Mimecast
From the very first time I met him, Stephane's enthusiasm and commitment to developing his people and making them all they can be was apparent. Stephane is a true talent enabler.
He is the sort of leader that his team loves, although, and perhaps because, he does not shy away from tough conversations when they are required, hence creating a true environment of growth and learning.

Anna Keyzers
Staff Data Engineer at Egress (acquired by KnowBe4)
Stephane was one of the best engineer managers I've had in my career.
He is undoubtedly in your corner, completely vested in helping you grow, but also not afraid to give feedback.
He brought with him processes that unblocked the team and made it run smoothly.
I learnt so much from him, the assertive yet gentle communication style will be something I will practice in the future.
The breath of his experience is impressive, but it's the mindset of always learning and constantly improving that makes him a stellar manager.

I had the pleasure of having Stephane as my manager who not just stood by my side when I needed encouragement for those "stepping out of my comfort zone" moments but also a mindful critic when I needed some corrective advice.
My favourite has been his application of Intent-Based Leadership principles in our conversations which has had a lasting impact on my personality at work and personal life.
