Client testimonials

I worked closely with Antoine for over one year on an intensive and complex delivery assurance program. Antoine reviewed high profile projects, focusing on project management, supplier management and product development. Antoine brings strong and current engineering skills: software development lifecycle, testing, configuration management, agile methods. He has deep knowledge of project management and is an expert in MS Project. I’d say the characteristic that made Antoine successful is his ability to apply deep knowledge practically in an imperfect world. He demonstrated pragmatism and adaptability and always engaged constructively with stakeholders. I'm pleased to give this personal recommendation and would welcome working together again.

Confidential - Available on demand Senior Legal & Quality Operations Manager (SITA - Air Transport Telecom industry - Delivery Assurance Program)

We took on Antoine to specifically address software safety assurance for a large rail project. The software development was already reasonably progressed, but in need of independent software assurance and EN50128 compliance demonstration. Antoine demonstrated great ability to able join an established project (with existing working practices and procedures) and bolster the processes, plan and conduct audits and produce recommendations effectively, where others may easily have disrupted on-going work. Antoine was an effective software processes assessor and auditor. Antoine is able to progress issues effectively, with minimal supervision. Similarly, his knowledge of, and ability to pick support tools and working environment with minimal input was most welcome at such a critical stage of the project.

Kevin Toon Engineering Safety Manager (SIEMENS Mobility - Rail industry - CROSSRAIL program Safety Assurance)

Antoine is a thorough and detail oriented project planner. He strives to understand the engineering background of a project, before to making a skeleton plan. His knowledge of the project management processes, risks and bottlenecks helps him to better utilise MS project/tool features. His excellent time management skills coupled with professional attitude and commitment makes him a great asset to any company.

Antoine did an excellent job as a project auditor and planner. He has good knowledge of CMMI and Automotive SPICE, and gained a good understanding of ISO26262 during his time at Renesas. He was able to pick up new skills quickly, and work with minimal supervision.

Antoine is a diligent and thorough auditor who has great interpersonal and communication skills. His organisation and planning is excellent and he is able to quickly pick up new tools. His use of Microsoft Project Professional, project server and the project web app is very good. He understands the principles of scheduling, a central resource pool, project tracking and resource levelling and is able to apply these principles to real projects efficiently and effectively.

Joanne Barnes Principal Engineer - PMO Expert (Renesas Electronics - Semiconductors industry - SWQA/CMMI Auditor, AUTOSAR PMO, ISO 26262 FuSa Auditor, Requirement Management Transformation project)

We have worked together (and still currently working) on several safety critical automotive projects, and I found him a highly skilled and dedicated professional. His expertise in the field of Automotive SPICE, Functional Safety (ISO 26262), Software Project Management and Software Design has helped our company a lot. He's also an all-around great guy to work with! I fully recommend him to anyone looking for help on their team. Really good communication skills, able to act as facilitator / leader, remarkable proactiveness and challenging mindset. He has shown an highly appreciated pragmatism and able to adapt based on the stakeholders need. The deep knowledge of Project Management best practices and SW development lifecycle make him highly autonomous, only minimum supervision is needed. Antoine's got the required profile to execute Management roles, both at project management and team lead levels.

Raphaël Surrel Vice President Quality (LEM Tech France - Automotive industry - ASPICE SYS/SWQA, ISO 26262 FuSa, SWPM)

For me it was a really surprising shock when I began to realize Antoine's professionalism, in the few meetings we had. He is that type of person who you can fully trust in, given his commitment to the quality of work, as well as the search for solutions for any type of problem, whether it is within his scope or not. Not only do I recommend Antoine as a professional and as a person, but it would be a pleasure to work with him again.
