Dr. Mbaye has contagious enthusiasm; he is honest and does not compromise integrity. He always took the time to listen and understand what was being said. He had great analytical skills and openly shared his knowledge with others. He showed respect to every employee and was never rattled. He was always poised and always had a positive energy. I miss working with him and hope to have the opportunity to cross paths with him in the future.
