"I had the pleasure of working with Aaron on several projects. His expertise and technical knowledge, combined with his ability of communicating and collaborating in a very clear and structured way was always something I enjoyed a lot. He is a role model when it comes to ownership of products and building bridges to commercial stakeholders. All this with a positive 'let's try to make it possible' attitude which I highly appreciated."
