This guided the founders of the company from the very beginning. When I came to the company in 2005, this long-term approach to relationships was very clearly communicated and continues to this day.

Each vendor in CLICO portfolio is looked after by a pair consisting of "Sales Product Manager" and "Technical Product Manager", who combine business and technical competences to better understand market needs and effectively help partners in new technology projects.
