Reviewed on 7/16/2020

Jonathan quickly understood our project and our needs, and was able to adapt to both my skill level and my cash flow situation. Always pragmatic and benevolent, he brought immediate value to the project and remains a source of advice even after the assignment. He quickly helped me improve my product management skills, without pushing unnecessary services, while being very operational in managing user testing (creativity in switching from user testing to an online survey during lockdown, production and analysis of the online questionnaire, formalization of results). If tomorrow the company succeeds in developing a great product and building a solid, structured team, it will undoubtedly be thanks to Jonathan's inception. Thank you :)
