Laurent Tescari 20 years in telco and video business

Laurent brought me into several of his projects in the Middle East.
His understanding of EMEA cultures and markets is second to none.
He has a knack for finding what expertise fit's in where and generally finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. He has taught me a lot about working in the challenging environment of the Middle East. He stays totally focussed and keeps a professional service attitude in very tough situations. I sincerely hope we get to work together more.

Laurent is a very talented, experienced and energetic consultant. He is a good team player and does not hesitate to step in and take responsibility in case there is an issue during delivery of a project. He works very efficient, structured and straight to the point. Always thinks out of box to expand business with customers. He is easy going and does not hesitate to share his wide and strong knowledge on new media technologies with his colleagues.

To have Laurent as a friend and a colleague in the same team, i feel privileged.

Laurent & I collaborated on the design of IPTV solutions for the GCC markets. Laurent is a rare professional being able to handle at the same time engineering, business, regulatory & delivery considerations. Focused on the solution, Laurent can design a end-to-end TV strategy that would cover both the Service Delivery and the end-customer value proposal. Additionally, Laurent have excellent communication skills and he can address any management or partners with a clear message, even when discussing complex technology-related aspects. I would endorse Laurent for all activities related to TV, multi-plays or Contents management.

Laurent is a true leader who knows how to empower others for better performance.

I worked with Laurent on a Mobile TV implementation project across Europe and he was very instrumental for the success of this project. He was always available, approachable with an excellent ability to see through issues, understand the bigger picture and set directions.

Laurent was a source of inspiration and strength for the entire project team, highly regarded by all and I really enjoyed working with for him.

Laurent is a very straightforward and communicative friend with whom I've studied at EPFL.

It's been a pleasure to work with Laurent on the challenging projects we managed from end to end together during this period. He demonstrated a very professional attitude in managing the strong objectives he was given, and managing and supporting team members. Team spirit, good relationship, leadership and friendly atmosphere were the ingredients of his success at Wanadoo/FT.
