Bruno was very good at planning and implementing improvements based on real data. His pragmatism led to realistic goals, which led to mesurable results. He his a great asset for any team leader that needs guidance and arguments that helps to manage the project budjet.
I'm thrilled to testify favorably on Mr. Pettersen's behalf. Bruno has been an active and invested participant in the entrepreneurship program, both in class and in the practical work where students are involved in influencing the content taught according to the needs of student entrepreneurs. Bruno demonstrated an interest in entrepreneurship that the whole class could benefit from during the discussions on different business scenarios. He also demonstrated an obvious curiosity towards the tools of entrepreneurship and a strong desire to master their operation. It is therefore with pleasure that I refer Mr. Pettersen to any company.
Bruno brilliantly overhauled the interface of the official search engine of the Government of Quebec during his internship at Constellio. The engine, which receives several million searches, had a flexible interface technology, but it was complex to integrate and limited response times. Bruno designed the new interface based on the latest generation technologies (Ajax/jQuery). The work done was a success! I would like to highlight the initiative, the concern for continuous improvement and the autonomy demonstrated by Bruno. It is a real pleasure to work with him!
Bruno was one of the brightest student I have had. He has great understanding of Financial Theory!
