I had the honor of meeting Martin towards the end of 2007. He had just completed a major project in the data center sector as the responsible project manager for our company to our complete satisfaction. Since then, the professional contact has turned into a rather friendly exchange on the subject of data centers at a very high level. His broad spectrum of knowledge is remarkable and always makes cooperation very easy and efficient. Although the last personal meeting was unfortunately several years ago, we have not lost sight of each other and I hope that a meeting will take place again in the future.
