What leaders say about Sibylle

Sibylle is quite simply one of the best project managers I've had the pleasure to work with. She held my hand through a very complicated funding process. Without Sibylle, I doubt the project would have been successful.
Mike Boyle Chartered Building Surveyor and Project Manager
It's not very often in your working life that you come across a truly exceptional individual. Sibylle is focused, driven, highly organised, forward thinking and very well motivated. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Jim Goldie Managing Director at Kurvers International
Sibylle must take a lot of credit for the successful supply of line pipes to BP Azerbaijan. She is extremely personable, highly intelligent, honest, motivated and well organised. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sibylle.
