On February 28th, we celebrated 10 years with Carl Fontaine, our Director of Finance and Administration ๐
Carl first joined NGC on a temporary basis in 2016, when we were organising the 20th edition of the IFAC Symposium on Automatic Control in Aerospace for the International Federation of Automatic Control in addition to moving our office to a new building โ a great baptism by fire!
This experience highlighted the qualities we all appreciate in Carl as a colleague: his thoroughness, determination, commitment to quality, perseverance, and strong sense of teamwork, but also, as a true epicurean, the importance he places on his colleagues' happiness at work and the art of hospitality โจ
After 10 years at NGC, from Accounting technician to Finance director, what sets NGC apart from other companies, according to Carl?
"The team makes all the difference! Being surrounded by colleagues who are passionate, professional, caring and committed has allowed me to grow in an ideal environment where I can fully realize my potential in my role... and even beyond. Management truly cares about the well-being of its employees, the work is stimulating, there is no shortage of challenges, and you learn something new every day. I have truly found a motivating and rewarding job here."
Thank you for being one of our pillars, Carl, we are very fortunate to have you as one of our team leaders. Here's to 10 great years at NGC ๐
