His years of experience allow him to identify the proper business target for an organization and his leadership skills help drive teams toward the execution. He is very down to earth in his approach, which makes him very easy to connect with on both a professional and personal level. I am happy to have him on the team, as he is very nice to work with! " and " I have observed August’ role for 3 years in Laureate in my role as Vice President (Academic). I oversaw him working on several projects including setting up the Laureate Online Education Disability Centre and enhancing the operations of several student service and academic processes. These processes serve postgraduate and doctorate students of the University of Liverpool (UK) and the University of Roehampton (UK) online programmes. August identified the potential for improved working practices which led to enhancements to processes and student satisfaction. The projects he undertook set out to improve student retention rates. August is articulate and thorough, collaborating across teams, showing initiative and working with partners. He exhibits a solid understanding of how student services and university online operations complement each other. I was pleased to see August work on the development and delivery of engaging value-added operations to support students. I have also had the opportunity to observe August's interpersonal style. He is consistently pleasant and demonstrates enthusiasm and dedication. August reliably delivers tasks on time. "
