Dear family & friends of Sam, I had the privilege to work alongside Sam something like 15 years ago. You can easily guess that this was a consulting "nightmare as usual", the pressure was huge, lifestyle crazy - but still, Sam's true kindness was a compass for all of us. Thanks to Sam, I felt welcomed, I felt I could forget one second my armour of arrogance and share the true pleasure to try new things, have fun and grow under the kind guidance of Sam. Sam's exceptional personality has left an imprint on me, and probably on all of us, that time will not erase. He's surely keeping a protecting eye on us from where he is. RIP my friend.
