He and I worked together while publishing the mobile game "Peanuts: Snoopy’s Town Tale", during which time Sebastien’s development team delivered milestones on-time and of high quality. Sebastien was impeccably organized, demonstrated strong leadership, and natural game design and product ownership. I’d be glad to work with him or his team again." Peter Knudson (Activision)
