What my clients say
Concrete collaborations, measurable results. Testimonials translated from French.
Fabien BAUDOT worked with our Enedis Languedoc-Roussillon regional division, and our collaboration was very fruitful. We appreciated his diligence and the reliability of his work.
Digital Delegate
Enedis
Fabien is effective to work with — passionate about technology, pragmatic, reliable. A real pleasure to have worked with him.
Industrial Partnerships
CEA Tech
He coordinated the project perfectly and saw it through. Despite the pressure, he created a healthy, friendly and always highly professional atmosphere.
Marketing Coordinator
Bausch & Lomb
Fabien was our point of contact throughout the preparation of our demo for the most important trade show of the year for our entity. He was particularly effective in managing the project and his technical teams, and an invaluable help in explaining the new technologies we were going to use in plain terms. The difficulty lay in the complexity of the systems we wanted to promote; he adapted and made constructive proposals. As a result, together we developed a demonstrator able to speak both to highly business-oriented decision-makers and to more institutional visitors, who were able to understand the operational gains of a new technological solution. Thanks to Fabien, this event was a real success — our clients still remember it two years later!
Head of Events and Demos
Thales
Fabien supported us in setting up a virtual reality solution. What I remember is how available he always was, and his professionalism.
Head of New Technologies
SNCF
Fabien was quickly up and running on the project entrusted to him. His analytical skills and ability to synthesise gave us an overall view of the subject and allowed us to map out its main guiding principles. A serious and effective consultant whom I recommend.
Managing Director
Oceanis
If everyone delivered like Fabien (in quality, professionalism, high standards, relevance and innovation), we would live in a utopian civilisation where every company would prosper and peace would reign.
