| "We had the opportunity to work with Jakobsland Partners in a project concerning our manufacturing units and their convergence towards our corporate model of high-performance plant. Our experience has been really positive. Their professionals have a vast experience that is reflected in the agility with which they grasp the situations we explain and their flexibility to tailor their solutions to our requirements. Their ease of access and proximity to our priorities is very much appreciated.” |

| “I worked with Jakobsland Partners during the early stage of an integration project. They supported us tremendously with their ideal combination of understanding how an American company works and their expertise in Spanish employment practices and business culture. They helped us to understand better what we needed to do and how to achieve it during the integration and were very helpful in translating not only words from Spanish into English language and vice versa – but also helped in understanding the other side. In addition to that they are very flexible and were there whenever we needed them.” |
| Dietmar Bahr, Dresser-Rand |
| "With Jakobsland Partners we have developed several working sessions for the management team within the process of setting objectives and aligning priorities for the elaboration of the annual business plan. Santiago Garcia supported us throughout the exercise, facilitating the sessions and advising the management team to achieve a shared and commonly accepted framework of objectives for the whole team." |

| “I've worked on several occasions with Jakobsland because I value their flexibility and ability to understand the needs to cover. They are very experienced and innovative consultants, as well as honest in their approach. " |

| "We have collaborated with Jakobsland Partners for several years. They are excellent professionals who get deeply involved in the projects. What we value most is that they propose made to measure solutions and give always a plus. Also, if there is an issue that is not their specialty, they say it and recommend another firm, something few consultants do.” |
| Joaquim de Toca, Oppro Investments (MUJI) |
| “I met Santiago Garcia years ago, before founding Jakobsland, when we worked together in Nabisco. He is no doubt one of the best HR professionals I have met in my life. When he started his own firm, I knew I would ask him to support us at the first chance we had. Working with him has always been a pleasure. He has succeeded in understanding our problems and needs to quickly become a helpful partner, supporting us with good advice, but also being involved in implementing his proposals. We have never regarded him as an external and we have enjoyed having him with us, not only in Spain, but also in the Portuguese organization. In the end, it has been our own people who have asked for his assistance in sensitive topics such as performance evaluations. And last but not least, you will always have in Santiago a reliable partner for these early morning runs!” |
| David Ferran, Carl Zeiss Vision |
| “In Emagister we had the collaboration of Jakobsland Partners on various projects in the field of Human Resources. Above many other things I emphasize their ability to understand the business and our needs, to assume our own culture and values, and to provide good ideas and make hard things easy. We work with them as partners on a regular basis and have our total confidence.” |
| Silvia Aparicio, eMagister |
| "In 2008 I hired Jakobsland Partners for an assessment of the management team from the perspective of their competence and fit for their positions, and also their ability to add value to the business from a more global view. The project was really enlightening to align the strategy of the company to the specificities of the people who had to put it into action. Based on the findings of Jakobsland we could redesign the Management Committee, making it leaner, while realigned management team functions according to the skills and capabilities of the assessed individuals, resulting in a significant improvement in both managers’ productivity and job satisfaction.
