 Michael Graf, Export Manager, Wohlhaupter GmbH – Partner and supplier
"In January 2005 in Sarcelles, we transferred to Breton Wirth the representation of our products for the greater Paris area.

WOHLHAUPTER tools in this area. Mr. Perrier prompted the appropriate marketing strategies to achieve and increase
sales. His commitment was very large and promising, but could not be continued unfortunately due to the closure of the
company Breton Wirth. We regretted very much to have to discontinue this commenced promising cooperation. We wish
Mr. Perrier all the best for his professional future." - December 12, 2005

 Karishma Punwani, Product Manager, Maplesoft - Worked with Philippe
“One of the qualities that I admire most about Philippe is his willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty to help his colleagues.
He has demonstrated this quality to me and several other colleagues on numerous occasions. An example of this that I remember with
extreme clarity, is when Philippe, out of his own volition, spent several late nights at work to help me fine-tune and correct a
presentation I was asked to create and deliver in French on short notice. Philippe didn't have to help me, but he did so because he
recognizes the importance of teamwork in achieving the company's goals. Thanks to Philippe, I was able to deliver a compelling
presentation that impressed several prospective customers. In addition to his sense of teamwork, Philippe has a remarkable talent for
connecting with people from all different cultures and walks of life. I believe this is another quality that makes him such a good
salesperson.” - January 22, 2012

helped us succeed in these campaigns.” - January 4, 2012
