Testimonies
Frédéric Waeber, CEO, Insynium
“I had the pleasure to meet Nadine in the BNI network and appreciated her ability to adapt and react. Then our development strategies went international and we turn to AÏDEMO for help, not only for language training but also to get more insight into the environment and the best practices of the countries we chose. It was among others the case in Morocco. Nadine and her team were exceptionally efficient for us to avoid gross flaws. We keep on working with AÏDEMO because we have a real opportunity to work with professional, training specialists.”
Karine Sautel, CEO, Ellipse Formation
“I happened to know Nadine before working with her and I was struck by her expertise which was obvious when I saw her in action. This is the reason why I suggested to AÏDEMO to become my partner as soon as I could. And I have been happy with this collaboration ever since. I hope this can last as long as possible because Ellipse and AÏDEMO share the same philosophy.”
