“What is most stricking about Leandre is his intelligence, natural leadership, and charisma. I had the pleasure of working with him at Pricewaterhouse Coopers during a very difficult and stressful engagement. Leandre brought his ideas and energy to bear on this engagement and made a significant contribution towards the team's success. Leandre is also very mature and wise for his age. This comes from being a natural leader. Leandre will go far in life. And he will be very successful at whatever he choses to do. I am very proud to know him and have him in my network.”
