if you've ever met Jacques you'll know that he's one of those people who can jump into just about anything and be productive straight away

[robfitz]

Any sense of what makes him that way? Is it something you've seen in other people as well? Is it a skill thing or a communication thing?

I think it's a combination of having a broad range of skills, experience and not being at all afraid to call bullshit bullshit. He's polite but focusses on getting stuff done and not the minutiae. If you have the opportunity to work with him, take it!

I certainly agree! Some of his publicised projects, including this one, have been major motivators for me.
