To Whom lt May Concern:
I am pleased to write this recommendation on behalf of Mr. Samuel Marinelli, who joined our
team within Corporate Development as a student intern in April 2015 in order to complete his
Masters degree Lyon Business School.
As the Head of Portfolio Development & lntegration for Airbus Group, I have had the opportunity
to observe Samuel's ability to quickly adapt and be accepted by my team composed of
experienced senior executives. Despite the difference in age and level of experience with the
team, he has proven himself to be a highly valuable asset to our department because of his
thoughtful analyses and contribution to our projects, as well as the good working relationship he
established with everyone.
Samuel's academic training and abilities became evident with his impressive performance on the
initial assignment he was given, a thorough analysis of the Cyber Security Market. As a result of
the quality of his work on this assignment, he was brought on board another project personally led
by one of the executives which involved development of an approach and methodology for
prioritizing major investments that could have a strategic long term impact on the Group. He
again proved himself to be an excellent performer and a positive contributor to the success of this
project.
I am certain that Samuel would be as tremendous an asset to your company as he has been to
ours and I therefore offer my recommendation without reservation. lf you have any questions or
require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
