J\u00e9r\u00f4me is proud to be developing the business strongly in Switzerland, with a good tool and the right people to service their clients.  In Switzerland, reputation is key, because \u201cpeople talk to each other\u201d, J\u00e9r\u00f4me explains. He recently overheard a client recommending the product to another Group CFO at an event, which assured him that his team is operating well.
