Presented yesterday by Francesco Nicolini, VP of DFK EMEA to Peter O’Connell, Neil Raynsford, Tim Smith, and Naomi Stewart, this award is voted in by the DFK EMEA Executive Committee (ExCO) and is based on the member firm who has contributed the most to the positive development of the region through the year.
