We recently hosted our inaugural webinar for Infection Reduction Partners, bringing together medical leaders in disaster response to discuss the problem of Wound Infection in Humanitarian Emergencies.  We had recruited panelists from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Society, World Health Organization, and Médecins Sans Frontières.  We looked for a moderator with strong character that could lead the impactful panel discussion.  Tessy brings so much passion to her work – she was simply the best person on the planet to help IRP with its mission to share best practices with the world health community.  She knew exactly what to do and led the process.  Tessy started with an intro email to the panelists that set the tone, organized panelist planning meetings, laid out the flow of the event, and made sure all the details were defined, agreed, and clearly communicated well in advance of the webinar.   Watching her in action was amazing – she cares about creating impact and it is so obvious in everything she does and says.  She is a leader that builds rapport rapidly and leads the journey with what appears to be effortless confidence.  As the webinar progressed, she brought positive energy, enthusiasm, and engaging interest as we transitioned between topics and questions – all this with military precision as well!  

I worked with Tessy Antony-de Nassau at our TedX Luxembourg City Women event. Like most of our speakers she is ‘extremely’ impressive for obvious reasons! However, Tessy is genuinely one of the nicest people I have come across. Her support of incredibly worthwhile causes stems from her deep-rooted concerns. She is incredibly knowledgable of the topics which she supports coming from real, first-hand exposure to the fields. Her passion for her home country is most noticeable while her ardent support of women in business and education is unwavering. Tessy engages her audience with unfiltered spirit and transmits the kind of passion that makes people take action. It is a pleasure getting to know her.

Tessy is one of the most amazing inspirational women I know , she is very focused on making a difference to others . A real straight talker . We spoke together on human trafficking and building partnerships to achieve outcomes. I was really impressed by her knowledge and experience . Tessy runs Finding Butterflies Consulting Ltd leverages its vast network to create safe spaces of dialogue between key players and stakeholders and change makers to discuss difficult questions facing others.

Tessy worked with the Montessori Group and I can sincerely say that the experience was a pleasure for my team and I. Not only was Tessy diligent, professional and thoughtful but her strategic insights helped us think beyond the task at hand.

Rather than repeating the content of Tessy’s other reviewers which I 100% agree with, I would like to add that I love to describe her, in just a few words as the “Princess of principles, peacemaking, people, philanthropy and Professors Without Borders”. Tessy joined me in Lagos, Nigeria in March 2018 to help me host the “Seven Wonder Awards Ceremony powered by Investing In Women”, and in addition to her knowledge of the cause areas, I was touched by her warmth and unique ability to connect with Nigerians from a diverse range of backgrounds

I have been listening to Tessy speak thoughtfully about education and female empowerment for a few years now and our paths crossed this year. Tessy is real, kind, smart, funny, strong and genuinely cares about education and female empowerment. She matched her words with action. Seeing her in action at PROWIBO this year, I can say Tessy is a force. Her ability to bring together so many diverse people from all different walks of life is a talent. Her warmth and ability to connect with anyone as a sincere human is her key strength. Watch out world when Tessy is knocking at your door…and she is only getting started. I cannot wait to see Tessy become more of herself and embrace her full potential!

Tessy has an exceptional gift for connecting deeply with the people around her, from the first encounter. She makes people feel seen, heard and valued, which allows her to bring out the best in them. This, I believe, is one of the main reasons she is an incredible servant leader, she gets into the trenches, gets her hands dirty, and everyone rises together. The power this talent cannot be underestimated!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Tessy on a philanthropic foundation initiative early this year. Tessy’s professionalism, work ethic and contributions to the cause were impressive. Her knowledge and network contributed greatly to our outcomes and key measures of success. Tessy just gets things done!

It is an incredibly rare opportunity to work with someone as exceptional, driven and authentic as Tessy. She goes beyond unimaginable limits to ensure change gets made and always delivers above and beyond what is expected of her. Her kind-heartedness, visions and professionalism are the things that stand out the most. We are very lucky to be working with her at Regents Racing.
