"I had the privilege of working with Nicolas when he joined our group as team lead. It didn't take long for Nico to create a foundation of trust and collaboration, or to provide motivation and support for our efforts that was truly invaluable. His deep insight into the nature of remote, distributed and async work, his sincere empathy for people, and his broad technical knowledge based on hands-on experience make him uniquely suited to help any organization thrive in the new reality of hybrid and remote workplaces.

In conversations, Nico was not only transparent in sharing his thoughts and insights, but also engaged in listening and gaining new insight from the experience of others. I'd welcome the chance to work together again; he deserves a place on my short-list of people I'd want on my ideal startup team. I highly recommend Nicolas to any organization seeking exemplary technical leadership and experience to help them succeed."

"I had the privilege of working closely with Nicolas at Zendesk as part of our digital first initiative. He was the employee ambassador for our digital first efforts and was part of our digital first crew.

He consistently went above and beyond, offering valuable advice and best practices related to flexible and virtual work within our employee community. His passion for this topic, coupled with his practical experience leading distributed teams, made them an invaluable asset to our team.

I'm confident Nicolas will continue to make a significant impact wherever he goes, particular in this period of transformation where many companies are looking to embed flexible / hybrid work in their cultures."

"Nicolas is an effective leader who is among those few and far in-between. He cares deeply about his team, and makes it a priority to unblock anyone who is stuck with an obstacle, and ensures his team is operating in an optimal state.

An expert in remote and asynchronous teamwork, Nico knows how to engage his team to operate effectively across geographic barriers and timezones, without sacrificing productivity and morale. His technical background enables him to make informed decisions for an engineering team with the relevant context, and allows him to empathize with engineers on a deep level. Not only is he skilled at delivering value for the business and its customers, he also understands the value of a positive team culture, and dedicates time to creating genuine connections with his team through team-building activities and day-to-day interactions.

Having worked with Nico as an early career software engineer, I can personally attest to his leadership prowess. I could not have been as effective at my work, and could not have grown as much as an engineer, without his support. I have spoken to others who will say the same and much more.

If you are looking for a strong leader who has experience in technology and expertise in managing remote teams, you need not look any further than Nicolas Cava."

"J'ai connu beaucoup de très bons managers dans ma carrière, mais indubitablement Nicolas sort du lot. Sur le plan humain, c'est une personne qui sait se faire apprécier de son équipe en la valorisant et en restant constamment à l'écoute, attirant naturellement la sympathie de ses collègues.

Sur le plan professionnel, comme il le dit si bien, il s'épanouit dans le chaos. Il sait structurer son équipe et mettre en place les processus adaptés pour gagner en efficacité tout en conservant les valeurs qui lui sont chères.

Il fait partie de ces rares personnes qui laissent une empreinte durable au sein des entreprises dans lesquelles elles sont passées et ce fut un réel plaisir d'avoir partagé sa compagnie."
