What they say

Valérie and I share the same principles of transparency, openness, and respect. We value each individual’s contribution towards our common goal of Let’s Warp’s success. This alignment promotes a team effort that quickly bears fruit!

Being able to challenge, brainstorm, and openly discuss different approaches with Valerie allows us to make the best decisions. She reminds us of certain software development principles at the right times and explains why they are important.

Valerie’s technical expertise allows us to avoid mistakes and quickly guide us towards the right solutions, saving us from potential problems, as well as time and money. Her knowledge in software design and AWS, as well as her organizational skills, are significant assets. Valerie enables us to see our blind spots to make informed decisions.

While not claiming to know everything, which is impossible in such a changing world, Valerie knows where to look. Her passion and desire to learn mean that she quickly finds solutions to guide our teams.

For managers like me, Valerie is a perfect match! Trust is quickly established.
