What they say

“Hervé has been a great manager & inspirational leader that came late into my career. At a time that I may have chosen to slow down, he gave me the lift & inspiration I needed to be my best, achieving goals that I may have not be able to achieve with other managers. Herve is a master at developing account strategies and new exciting approaches to business, he never stops thinking, creating and executing. His deep knowledge of all technologies and their implications are on point (5G, AR, MEC). As I am retiring soon, I can say that the last few years of my career were such a pleasure - and I owe it to Hervé, who I can now call him both a mentor and more importantly, a friend.”

Nunzio Distefano, Global Account Executive

"Herve is certainly the most productive, the most rigorous and the quickest business person to grasp or anticipate complex concepts I ever had the chance to work with. He always has an extended knowledge (market - history - competition - standards - etc...) of the technologies or products he's working on, and always seems to grow his field of interests. He's the only person I know able to produce a business proposal, a press release, a financial report, an IP portfolio analysis, a product roadmap or a powerpoint presentation on the same day, with a constant and impressive quality. His background and multicultural roots and experiences give him that vision of a World class leader."

Luc Julia, Father of Siri, now Chief Science Officer at Renault Group

“It is not often in life that you meet someone with the sophistication, poise and broadly balanced demeanor that Herve has. He is truly unique. Not only does he posses a sharp intellect, allowing him to analyze and synthesize any problem one cares to throw at him, but he is also able to design and develop a well considered strategy before moving into execution mode to deliver and delight. I had the absolute pleasure of working with him in numerous capacities and witnessed his ability to transition across roles with ease from a valued consultant to a senior leader that mentors and supports teams with compassion and inspiration. He is constantly evolving and shaping a strong point of view on all factors that can impact business, and he shares this with honesty and transparency with an eye not only to his charter but to the broader organization. Herve is an asset to any team in ways that go way beyond what can be described easily in a performance review. I truly hope I have the pleasure of working with him again in the not too distant future.”

Kirk Mitchell, Head of APAC Partnerships, Google Maps

“Herve has been an adviser to me since 2017. He is a strategic thinker that guides not only his team and business unit, but the entire organization. Typically, there are only a couple people that you can acknowledge as a true mentor in your career and I have been lucky enough to work for, with and along side Herve in my time at HERE Technologies. A lot of his business philosophies, leadership and practices have been applied in my own thinking and career development, which is a true testament on how he has influence me over the years. Herve truly is a professional and I have not come across one person that hasn’t been influenced positively by his work ethic and genuine thoughtfulness for the business and his team.”

Tim Garcia, Strategic Accounts, Google

“Herve is one of the best mentors I have had the privilege of knowing in my entire career. He recruited me to join his team and learn location data. He is a great teacher of ideas and also encourages independent thinking. He created and managed a team that was supportive and an inspiring creative think-tank. He was a master at navigating the landscape of HERE Technologies, a huge global company. If you wanted to know who did what inside of 8,000 employees, or which product line was getting ready to go to market, Herve could tell you. How he kept track of so much is his SuperPower! He is legendary for his interactive graphics explaining and breaking down complex ecosystems into easy to interpret visuals. Partners and customers turned to Herve as a thought leader, and Herve's relationships with C-Level executives is deep. The best part is that I consider Herve a friend for life, his warm personality makes everyone he works with feel special.”

Traci Lorio, Global Account Executive

“During my time at HERE, Hervé was referred to by his team as a "Jedi Master." His deep knowledge of location, media, telecommunication, and advertising technologies enabled him to clearly outline problem-solving solutions for both prospects and product teams alike. In his weekly meetings, he would masterfully move across industries, listening intently to his team's opportunities and challenges, offering advice and support that left everyone encouraged and inspired. I was always thrilled when I had 1:1 time with Hervé to ask questions and strategize. He is a top-notch technology leader.”

Tom McDonald, Senior Product Marketing & Communications Director

"Herve is that rare mix of both strategic business thinking and technical depth"

Jason Monberg, CEO and Founder, Presence

 

"Herve was a pleasure to work with. His insights into our industry and deep experience at all levels of the software sector were immensely helpful in assisting us to make the transition from services to product oriented company. I would recommend him highly and look forward to future opportunities to work with him."

Keith Kocho, Founder, ExtendMedia - Chief Product Officer - formerly at Cisco, Amazon, Spotify

 

"Hervé's insights are always in front of the curve. Hands down, he is one of the brightest minds in digital media."

Andy Tarczon, VMLY&R

 

"I have had the pleasure of working alongside Herve at both Liberate and The Diffusion Group. His insightful analysis of business and market relationships is among the best in the industry."

Colin Dixon, Owner, nScreenMedia

 

"I have always been amazed by his capacity to perfectly understand technical concepts and how they can meet the client needs. He is able to instantaneously foresee every benefit from an emerging technology. From an engineer point of view, this makes him a perfect person to work with."
