In a company with a dress code of t-shirts and jeans, he wore a fine tailored 3-piece suit. We were doing interactive art history documentaries, and he was a Belgian music history phd brought in as our producer. He was a classic old world European in a 30 something body, with a careful, articulate vocal style that sounded like an actor reading a book on tape. He always explained why things were they way they were, both in the content of our documentaries and in the production process when dealing with outside agencies, licensing, other departments and so on. He's "deal" was total transparency of operations, to the degree everyone understood how everyone else's roles and duties support and enable other team members. We all became a supportive family. That guy was so good, he went on to be the CEO of Philips NV.
