I've had the privilege of working with Jean for the past 25 years across multiple companies. He is a brilliant technical person with a Mensa IQ who can teach himself vitually any subject or technology AND has the rare ability to combine non-technical business objectives with unbelieveably creative ideas to come up with DaVinci like IT solutions that he then makes run like a Swiss watch... This guy is really something special and gets my highest recommendation as the best all round IT technology person with whom I ever worked. Paul Case, Founding Principal, Spectralliance
In my opinion Jean is, simply put, a software engineering genius. He has an innovative creative eye that affords him and his clients a vast array of software solutions to real business problems. Further to that, his practical perspective and bottom line business focus allows him to "best fit" software solutions that create immediate and sustainable shareholder value. Jean's ability to blend all of these attributes is what earns him such high praise from me. And, if that isn't enough, his humble persona is a welcome addition to any company's culture. Jean-Paul Casaubon is the "total package". Al Fosbenner, SVP, Finance, Rise Broadband
Jean and I have worked together on a few different projects. I first worked with Jean when he came in to help me close business with a very demanding client who was seeking a high-quality software engineering team. Jean set the client at ease with his excellent ability to recognize the situation and communicate an attractive and sensible approach to managing the client’s technical business. Then he proceeded to win over every level of the client's organization.
Jean is a versatile software engineering executive. He has managed and led large teams through the entire software delivery lifecycle. He has managed and led his own company to create very innovative solutions. He has successfully run large organizations. His technical leadership solved real problems and created innovative solutions fundamental to every engagement that we were involved. As Jean guided his resources, he never lost site of the customer and building solutions for their problems.
Jean is a pleasure to work with and I recommend him highly. Bill Brewster, VP Operations, Canoe Ventures
I am proud to have worked for Jean and with the remarkably talented team of engineers that he assembled at Canoe. He is an outstanding leader that knows how to make his employees and his projects successful. I would be happy to work with Jean again in the future, and he comes with the highest recommendation I can give for an executive-level technical leadership role. Mike Munhall, Sr. Engineer, Canoe Ventures
I had the privilege to work for Jean while at Canoe Ventures. He possesses great leadership skills and the ability to assemble strong technical teams. Jean also has great vision for new product ideas and how they should be engineered. He has the intangible ability to be very personable and approachable, all the while exuding utmost professionalism. I feel very lucky to have worked for Jean and would work for him again if the opportunity presents itself. Phil Zimmerman, Principal Engineer, Charter Communications
Jean possesses a unique combination of leadership, technical, and interpersonal skills for a VP level executive. He empowers and trusts his employees while at the same time does not shy away from making decisions. I highly recommend Jean for a leadership position in a technology company of any size and hope to be able to work with him again. Pavel Novodvorskiy, Sr. Director, Engineering, Charter Communications
Jean is one of the best hiring managers I've worked with in my career. He is responsive, reasonable, intelligent and results-oriented. Jean gave every candidate a great interview experience and I was always confident that, once a candidate accepted an offer to work for Jean, they would be challenged, fulfilled and treated well. Jean isn't just a manager, he is a leader. Christine Alling, Sr. Technical Recruiter, Starz
Jean has a talent for not only working hard to provide a clear vision for his people, but then trusting them to execute on it. He is very pragmatic and above-board in dealing with everyone, so people know they can trust his word on schedules, challenges the project is facing, opportunities, etc. He watches out for his people, and encourages them to take risks and grow. Jim Moore, Principal Software Architect/Developer, Charter Communications
Jean-Paul is the type of development manager that the business side loves dealing with. He works to understand what is needed by going beyond what is requested.

Mike Iacovelli, VP, Service Delivery & Operations, Aptomized
Jean-Paul is an excellent engineering manager. His ability to recruit and develop developers, provide them with leadership and direction were key to his success at Canoe.
