They is proficient in French, Dutch and English. Colleagues describe them as "I have known Etienne for 4 years now, and as many others have said, you won't find a smarter guy to work with. Etienne is one of the rare people who has the qualifications and the capacity to lead the technical operations of a company as easily as the business operations and the combination of those skill sets is unique and invaluable. I worked with Etienne at GoSwiff where he was CTO and then later COO and it was his leadership and capability that ensured that the company reached its global objectives. My role as Chief Strategy Officer would not have been successful without the strength and determination of Etienne driving the company to meet those strategic goals. GoSwiff was a small start-up when I joined, just one of the hundreds of mPOS players in the market and three years later is now one of the top three or four players globally, due largely to Etienne's contribution to the business. " and "Etienne is one of the smartest guys I ever met. It's stimulating and fun to work on projects with him. His combination of business and technical skills is rare in my experience. He's definitely my go to guy when I need a plain English explanation of something techie that I don't understand."
