I had the pleasure to work with Benoît on the Paradise (Camp Fire) restoration project in 2018/2019. With several thousand people responding to the restoration effort, it was hectic to say the least, working in incredibly difficult conditions, I was looking for people to step-up to help get the project organized. Benoît was one of those individuals who stepped up to the challenge, bringing an incredible drive with skills to truly make a difference. Benoît quickly became an invaluable asset to the team taking on any assignment with the pride, commitment and competence needed to get the job done. He is highly skilled, motivated and eager to learn and contribute.

I managed Benoît throughout a consultancy project at reNature focused on creating an agroforestry transition strategy for 30.000 cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast. His tasks encompassed the program design, proposal writing, communication, planning and project management all of which he fulfilled with great success. Benoît impressed with efficient time-management, structure, organization and a diligent approach to his work and displayed great leadership in cooperating with the project consortium. Would gladly work with him again!

With his excellent communication and organizational skills, Benoit manages projects smoothly and efficiently - even when working remotely with stakeholders in a range of locations. His leadership style provides an invaluable combination of both professional and personal support. I very much look forward to working with Benoit again as he develops much-needed mechanisms for the large-scale adoption of agroforestry worldwide.

I very much enjoyed working with Benoît on a cocoa agroforestry project. He had a lot of (technical) knowledge which he is happy to share, and at the same time is open to new information and learning from other people's experience. Overall great energy and great enthusiasm!

Benoît is a leader who is not only a quick learner, and a problem solver, but also possesses the quintessential leadership traits that are indispensable for a modern business leader. His unique ability to approach a problem, by breaking it down into little systems, and solving each piece before combining the entire solved puzzle has produced marvelous results. Benoît always presented solutions that clearly reflected a mix of his rich experience, and out of the box thinking. He always displayed a knack for learning, be it in any form, which can clearly be seen in his ability to come up with the most creative solutions to some of the most complex problems. It has always been a very engaging and a very exciting experience to work with Benoît, mainly due to his problem solving abilities, honesty, and the sheer commitment towards his work. I highly recommend Benoît and wish him all the very best for his future endeavors.

My experience with Benoît as a permaculture consultant, designer and educator has been inspiring. He has generously shared his knowledge and experience of holistic design by integrating systems in my urban homestead that work together as efficiently as possible assuring resources of the land are used to their full potential. He is a good listener and a graceful communicator. I find him very professional and trustworthy with excellent project management skills.

Most people are overly competitive and make it hard for others like them to work side by side. It's not everyday that you come across people who want to share as much as possible about their experience and knowledge-base to lift those around them up and work collaboratively. Benoit's passion and depth of knowledge about sustainability, the environment and project management skills reflected in the various presentations that he has given, often voluntarily, is inspiring and indicative of a natural leader who wants to spread the knowledge he has gained from years of experience. His insights and ideas are creative and honest and it has been an enriching experience working with him.

When confronting scattered information about what is best in terms of sustainability, environmental conservation and restoration, Benoît is knowledgeable and a natural leader in this area of expertise. After attended talks that Benoît hosted at the Sustainability Management School, on topics such as systems-thinking, I was impressed with his commanding and inspiring speaking capabilities along with the creativity he brings to his presentations. If I ever needed to hire someone to speak to and educate a group of people, Benoît would be my first call.
