Javier is an excellent presenter who knows his subject matter and how to present it so that everyone can understand. Because this particular topic is complex additional time was required. Javier did something that does not happen very often - he asked if participants could stay on longer and he didn't rush through the final points of the session. I have found that every interaction with Insources has been professional, informative and completely relevant to my work. Thank you
Judith Evans
Excellent. Will highly recommend.
