Reference
I really mean it from my heart and from many years of professional personal sharing: Uwe Meyer is THE example of professionalism and personal niceness. I’ve had the privilege of interacting with him for more than 10 years, developing educational, scientific and medical projects literally in all continents: not only he demonstrated top notch skills, but also a unique problem-solving ability making him the “go to” person to refer to for accomplishing even the most challenging missions. Whoever will have the great opportunity to work with him I’m sure will find out my words are evidence-based and I’m more than sure will greatly appreciate his professional and personal presence.
