"To describe Rafael with words is not easy. Endless energy and passion comes first to mind. Once you have seen him in action you know you have encountered a person with exceptional qualities. At the same time he has a command of the big picture - present and future - but also masters the implementation details with ease. His communication, networking and negotiation skills are truly on a world class level boosting things to happen when Rafael is around."

"Informed decision-making is the hallmark of leadership - Futures Diamond understand this and create brilliant portals, apps, content and intelligence that looks ahead 10, 15 and even 20 years. The quality of thinking and partnership working will help leaders to make better decisions. I enjoyed working with Dr Rafael Popper and his talented team to develop innovative horizon scanning that will influence the whole of the NHS and social care across England and into Europe. Rafael is a delight to work with having an acute intellect and a mischievous sense of humour. We had enjoyable, exciting and challenging times building a world beating Health Horizon Scanning platform and App for the UK Department of Health and then running a project strand for the EU. Rafael is a leader in the field of HS and full of ideas and a wonderful 'can do' approach to problem solving. If you have the chance to work together - grab it with both hands - you will be pleased you did!"
