Elie's position at Wysdom was to present a customer facing technical role in the transition from sales to implementation. This is a very demanding role requiring both the personality and charm to work with a customer and the technical ability to translate their view into an architecture and implementation the company could deliver. In all areas of this position in many, many projects all around the world, Elie excelled in his role. His interaction with the customer smoothed many a rough wave when the expectations were higher than the reality, and his interaction with the project team leading the implementation was exemplary. I would recommend Elie to any position which involved these two, typically disparate, skillsets.
Elie is a very thorough professional, willing to go the extra mile to get the customers on board. A good technology background combined with commercial focus . A real joy to work with. I would love working with Elie again any time.
When working with Elie, I immediately had a feeling of being involved with someone who had a clear vision and path for his company. It can be said, that "some people are ahead of their time". This was definitely the case with Elie as he crafted a path of excellence in both direction and personal growth with all who worked for him. His knowledge of industry dynamics and passion for technical excellence was easy to digest as a developer. This translated into workmanship that extended the companies vision into your own work. Elie's easy to get a long with attitude allowed me to share my own creative thoughts and blend them into something that not only fit the companies goals but gave me a great sense of pride. I highly recommend Elie not only as a leader, but as someone who has the ability to see beyond the four walls of business to create personal growth and integrity for those who work with him.
Elie is energy exemplified. Having worked with him on implementing Value Added Service (VAS) in India, have never realized the difference in time zones since Elie is always accessible round-the-clock and super responsive. Elie also has an astounding technical acumen which makes solving complex technical issues very easy. In addition, his understanding and analysis of customer response to a VAS and modifying it accordingly make him an invaluable asset for any company
