TESTIMONIALS

Laurent recently led a conference on E-reputation that I participated in. Despite the complexity of the subject, the various participants and the highly varied questions from the public, he succeeded in maintaining a clear common thread and leading them toward intelligent directions of interrogation that we were encouraged to respond to. Moreover, Laurent had a highly intelligent way of making everyone feel comfortable from the beginning to the end of the conference. Thank you, Laurent, for your help and your professionalism.

Tony Loebn
Co-Founder @ Experience Hotel

I had the chance to participate in a conférence on E-reputation with Laurent. I was fascinated by how the event unfolded, particularly with the ease with which Laurent was able to navigate through our discussion across various themes, whether it was between the various participants or with the public. I highly recommend Laurent for his extensive knowledge of the hotel sector, his professionalism, his kindness, and no less sensitivity to digital themes that professionals in the CRH sector face today. For a player like Supervise Me, it is important to attract personalities like Laurent, not only to benefit from their experience, but also to draw inspiration from talents and skills that, as concerns them, are harder to be found.

Supervise Me

Thank you again for your intervention during our seminary yesterday. Your experience and step back you shared with us were very appreciated by the participants and will help us, I am sure of it, during the development of Colombus.

Valérie Ader
CEO of Colombus Consulting

I had the pleasure to be part of a round table at the Maison et Objet fair where we discussed “The High fashion Hospitality which was organised and animated by Laurent Delporte. We had an animated session where the subject was debated quite passionately as nowadays many hotels are designed in collaboration with Fashion houses. Laurent asked relevant questions. As he also works quite closely with well known designers, we were able to broach on the different synergies between two distinct professions which now find themselves merging quite interestingly. Laurent was friendly yet professional and certainly knowledgeable on the subject we debated. A great mix between a journalistic critical approach and the french gentleman smoothness. I look forward another opportunity to such debate under his guidance, as I enjoyed myself very much as well as felt positively challenged,. The responsiveness of the audience was also gratifying, as quite a many attendees participated in the debate and asked questions that furthered the thought process
