Hugo is very nice to work with, he understands my business and comes up with solutions.

Hugo and I met in Kochi, India where we both have offices. We quickly became good friends and he doubles up on occassion as my mentor as well. Hugo is a true entrepeneur with a real heart for his business, his employees and his clients. He is easily one of the most knowledgeable people on the advantages, and pitfalls, of software outsourcing. If you are looking to outsource software development, or even if you are just looking for some advise in that area, Hugo is the guy to talk to.

Working for Hugo at Bridge India, I was introduced to the winning notion of IT outsourcing. Hugo has an exemplary vision for Bridge in the future, which has inspired dedication and interest amongst peers. As a manager, Hugo is reliable and approachable: he always welcomes a constructive discussion, and entrusts team-members with significant responsibilities. Hugo has a passionate drive and ambition. It was a pleasure working for him, and I hope to do so again in the future.

I worked for 2 years for Hugo as the head of Bridge India branche. Hugo is a real entrepreneur in many aspects but the ones that really stand out for me is his pragmatic approach, his strategic view and his ability to grasp complex things quickly and drill down to the very essence of them. Many times I came to him with a seemingly impossible issue which he would solve in a brilliant way very efficiently by focusing about what needed to be done rather than on finding out what went wrong and whom to blame. Although Hugo never shies away from making difficult decisions when required he will do this in a very open way and will always consider the people involved. It is due to this approach that Bridge is a very transparent and honest place to work. It is also a very inspiring place to work.

Hugo is a great enterpreneur and wonderful person to know. He is absolute versatile personality. I am glad to know him as a friend and a Principal client. I met Hugo in Hannover in Germany during CeBIT-2005 and afterwards I have been to Bridge-The Netherland's office too . Hugo is a great inspiration for the entire young enterpreneur fraternity. His services are remarkable. Hugo's team is very dedicated,committed and result oriented as he ensure to drive them to great success . I enjoy his company both personally and professionally. I wish great success in all his endevours

I would recommend Hugo for any kind of project. He is a clear communicator with a very open approach -> so no surprises. He stays cool and is very engaged with his projects ->so no stress. He is consolidating with great focus on solution -> so a great end result.

PICADIA heeft samen met Hugo Messer intussen al een hele reeks van projecten succesvol gerealiseerd. Hij en zijn uitgebreide team hebben elke keer ervoor gezorgd dat mijn ontwerpen technisch haalbaar werden en de klant en ik met een tevreden gevoel het project konden afronden. Hugo is betrouwbaar, sympathiek in de omgang en professioneel in zijn werk. Hij heeft een visie en staat open voor nieuwe ideeên.

Working with Hugo is a real pleasure. He is our customer and at the same time our partner. And in both these roles he performes very well - he is a very open person, his frank feedbacks about our work - sometimes pretty tough - help us to improve our services and products. What I admire about Hugo is the energy with which he is constanly looking for new opportunities. Being his vendour I know that Hugo will always suggest us something new and promising to broaden our expertise and strengthen our market positions.
