Mathieu Gufflet (Founding President EPSA): “With Claire Leussink-Nies, AB&C Group gains a driven and connecting CEO, who knows the company well in all its facets. We have great confidence in her vision and leadership and therefore look forward to the next phase of AB&C Group under her leadership.”

I am committed to continuity and rolling out our strategy to further develop our services for clients, to continue to offer great career paths for our professionals and to expand as an organization nationally and internationally. The strength of AB&C Group is and remains that our companies offer business services based on their own entrepreneurship, culture, expertise and working methods.

I sincerely thank Sherief for the meaningful role he played as founder and CEO in the creation, growth and flourishing of our company and I look forward to continuing to work with him in a new formation.”
