Simon De Baene is a Co-founder · CEO at ShareGate. He possess expertise in leadership, entrepreneurship, software engineering, product development, marketing and 4 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Normally I write a recommendation because I have worked directly with someone and just can't say enough good things about that individual. In Simon's case this is a little different - I wish I could work with Simon more because he is one of the smartest and nicest people I have ever met. I believe Simon excels at generating and improving ideas and making them a successful reality. That is a skill that is extremely rare and challenging to find, and even harder to find in a person that is so grounded and approachable. To do what Simon does requires a mind that can be innovative and visionary while still being practical and mindful of the economic, environmental, and social challenges that exist in making an idea reality. It's immediately obvious when you work with Simon that he is open, honest, and interested in helping others succeed. It's this that I believe drives him to always be optimistically working to foster and develop new products, businesses, colleagues, and customers successes. I am confident that including Simon, hiring him, connecting with him, and/or working with him is something that you should jump at the opportunity to do. I know I will continue to do so. :)", "For the last 2 years working at GSoft, I've been very impressed with Simon's leadership, management and communication skills. As a leader, he has a hands off approach and he leaves a lot of decision latitude in the hands of his team. He's not afraid to let people shine around him. He also gives great motivational speeches. I would go as far as saying that he's a visionary: he knows exactly where the company is going and that makes people want to follow and make his ideas happen. As a manager, he's not afraid to take the tough decisions to turn the company around when needs be. He's also very passionate about new management approaches: he does not believe in micro management and acts accordingly. He knows what to do to get the best out of every person. As a communicator, he always goes right to the point, using clear language and simple but efficient images. He does not get lost into the details: as a listener you always see the big picture. He's also very transparent. When you listen to him, you always feel like you're being told the entire story without any embellishment.", and "I have had the pleasure of knowing Simon for the past 3 years working at GSoft. Self motivated strategist with very good communication skills. His technical background and dedication makes Simon view solutions instead of problems."
