Testimonials

Roger has been the most important advisor and mentor to Change. He has helped us to scale to a 20-person team and raise over $17.7M in funding. His main strengths are his next-level strategic thinking derived from his long corporate executive experience and skills with people. I have personally learned from him that are no bad teams but bad leaders. Also, he has thought me some very important life values that I will take with me in my personal life.

Marina accompanied us on the definition of our values and our HR strategy during a growth phase of our teams.Our stakes and issues were immediately understood and Marina’s analysis and recommendations allowed us to structure ourselves and make the right choices in terms of recruitment. Thanks to Marina’s expertise and her ability to challenge us, we have made a lot of progress in a very short time, especially by recruiting and retaining a competent team, in line with the values of our company.

Marina advised us in building an objective performance evaluation system for a scaling tech startup. With our unique culture, it was a complex challenge but her transparent and adaptive solution provides us clear visibility of team and individual impact as a basis for fair compensation and promotion decisions.
