Client Voice

I’ve worked with Berenice for nearly a decade. We met as I was looking to improve our leadership assessment techniques during the partner selection process. 

Over this time, I have grown a deep appreciation for Berenice‘s talent and approach to work.  I’ve worked with her on various Actis leadership projects, she has assessed almost every partner it todays generation and she has been instrumental in my own personal leadership journey. 

What I admire about Berenice is simply…she is excellent in her craft.   Berenice invests time to understand the people with whom she works and sees the whole picture today and forward.  On many occasions, I have gone back to her work to revisit her thoughts and recommendation.  It is not easy to have your work reviewed in hindsight for so long of a period but without exception, her insights have been spot on.

Berenice has been huge value add to our search. Her exceptional mixture of IQ and EQ helped us in identifying important character traits while confirming our initial instincts through her objective lens.

I have worked with Berenice in 3 different industries to help our Board or Exco to complete our own assessments of final internal and external CEO candidates. Each time, my colleagues and myself were highly impressed with the quality and precision of her feedback which were critical to fine-tune our decision. Berenice, a great, curious and easy-going listener, is very business oriented: she encouraged us to debate, clarify and align ourselves on what were the key competencies and cultural fit for our recruitment looking forward. Her methodology is solid and very professional, her reports precise and straight to the point, helping us to create a group dynamic to share openly and gain comfort and trust. Unusually compared to her colleagues, she takes position and ranks the different candidates in her own view towards the main challenges of the position. She also proposes a detailed feedback and quality time to each of the candidates who can benefit from it and take actions to develop themselves.
