I mean, Pieter knows more than anyone else the best definition of leadership. His views and decisions are clear and going on the right way. His sympathetic capital makes you want to do more than you're paid for. I was involved in a project of migration datacenter. Pieter was supervising, but I never been told how I was supposed to work.

Although Pieter had many different visions to align and a successor to coach, he succeeded very well. Nice job!”
