“For me it’s been a great pleasure to be part of the company created by Chris. Softeq is a place with great culture, very talented professionals and great opportunities to grow. Chris managed to build a company that cares about people, where constant learning and education are fostered. I’ve got to know Chris more personally during my last years in the company and I’m glad that I’ve had such opportunity. I’ve got to know him as a person who is very passionate about what he does, who is a good manager and instead of telling you what to do just shows the direction and lets you get there by yourself, who cares about other people’s opinion, listens carefully and tries to be as objective as possible. For me it’s been a pleasure working with Chris and I believe that Softeq has a great future ahead.”
