Outstanding service for Japan, very thorough inside of the Japanese market and value chain, and even more valuable insights on nippon specifics in terms of culture and business habits. We were able to develop a strategic alliance with Sony thanks to Next Level, based purely on Stephane's authoritative skills, experience and deep insight of Japanese culture, and not based on his address book. Stephane is perceived by Japanese decision-makers and business owners in the industry as the strategic consultant who is most likely to succeed with a western brand, period.
