Partnership Approach

I've known Hervé Lienhardt for a number of years now and can recommend him for his capacity to motivate and lead his team even in difficult situations. His mixture of French charm and German rigorous work attitude may be a surprise at first but I suppose it comes from his being from Alsace. It certainly, to my opinion, helps his faculties of teamwork and his success as a Technical Department Manager in China. We've done a few contracts together that have not always been easy, nonetheless, we've been able to successfully finalise these in good part due to Hervé's involvement and his desire to find a solution in a partnership attitude.

Professional Integrity

Herve has deep knowledge and experience of business culture across Asia (beyond Europe, his home turf), with intimate knowledge of the water industry in technical (design, development, operation), and business and legal aspects, encompassing public/government at local and central levels and private/B-to-B sectors. I've known him for many years while posted in Beijing and was impressed by his knowledge of the oil industry, which is my domain. He projects a unique sense of professionalism, integrity, and efficiency.

Authenticity & Commitment

I know few people who combine solid & successful experiences of projects (engineering & execution) and operations. Hervé is one of them. Hervé has a very direct style, which makes it easy to work with him: he says what he does and does what he says. This earns him a lot of trust from his colleagues, his team, business partners also his customers. As a leader, he gets the best from his team by actively supporting them & getting his hands dirty with them. I have seen that his teams have a lot of loyalty to him as a result.
