“With great pleasure, I recommend Michel Koopman as a strategic leader and effective coach. I have known Michel since 2011, when he accepted a "cold call" I made to him that turned into a long-term working relationship. Over the years that we've worked together and stayed in touch, I've known him to be a productive entrepreneur willing AND able to look into the future and see more of what is coming our way than most. I reflect on a 2-year period where I worked on several projects that his company organized. The partnership we built in concert with one another demonstrated Michel's commitment to process AND product and that he wanted to take care of people and profits. While I've not worked for Michel directly, I can state that he is a caring and efficient leader. He understands the multitude of factors that create business value for customers and employees alike.”
