Testimonials

“I know Patrick as a very driven person; someone who has a very analytical mind and who processes all the information before taking major decisions. In the Netherlands we implemented a lot of change management and although it wasn’t always easy, Patrick kept his cool and supported his management team all the way through.”

Frank Van Gulck
National Sales Manager

“I appreciate Patrick’s ability to look at a problem from all angles before making a recommendation.”

“In July 1998 Patrick took on the position of Managing Director in the Netherlands. He was willing to accept this challenge after the wonderful work performed in the Belgian subsidiary. Patrick has performed tremendously well in Belgium with sales in 1997 reaching 25 million euros versus 6 million euros in 1991. During that period the Sales and Marketing Department also increased from 15 to 52 people. Thanks to him and his team, the antidepressant Cipramil was ranked first in volume and value out of all CNS products in Belgium.”

Vice President

“Patrick continued to impress me after he left the laboratory where we got on excellently as colleagues. He went on to be the lynchpin of the launch of Cipramil in Belgium and in just a few months Cipramil succeeded in knocking Prozac off the top spot. He was then appointed Country Manager in the Netherlands and I lost touch with him. I would like to wish him every success in his new endeavours and I am convinced that his experience will be very valuable.”

“I have been working with Patrick for many years, partly with him as my direct boss. Patrick impressed me with his deep analytical skills; he is always able to point out the small missing detail, or ask the seemingly “little question” that opens up new horizons. Patrick is the kind of professional who can challenge one’s plans to reach one’s goals, and who can be highly supportive so that one can implement the necessary steps later on. He takes a real interest in people, and is able to create and maintain team spirit and enthusiasm. He taught me a lot about how to identify and recruit the best candidates... I now use his methods extensively! I am confident “MYRIADFACETS IN MANAGEMENT” will be successful due to Patrick's great experience and his intuition.”

“More than forty years of working relationship and friendship have not managed to unseat the deep admiration that I feel for Patrick’s contagious enthusiasm, his passion for a job well done, his great ability to listen, his varied talents in management and business, and above all, his great respect for people and their ideas.”

Jean-Paul Boyazis
Director of ONDRAF – the Belgian Agency for Radioactive Waste

“Any environment or business has its own objectives and cultures in which one has to find one’s way. However, this should not stop one from working towards a targeted goal. I, for one, am convinced that Patrick has consistently endeavoured to do just that, relying on his own vision and values. Patrick is an analyst – someone who stands behind the realisation of his vision and shoulders the responsibility that goes with it.”

“I began my career at Lundbeck working for Patrick. I appreciated our collaboration a lot due to his many qualities: broad mindedness, human side, judicious thoughts, sense of humor, team spirit,… We remained in contact afterwards and Patrick is really somebody I recommend for both his human and professional side.” September 11, 2008
