English term or phrase: XXXXX is a class act by anyone’s standards.

Compliment directed towards our out-going CEO (I could have left the name in as all of this is public domain - comes straight outta our annual report & accounts).
Of course I know what our Group chairman means, but does anyone have a neat, register-matched suggestion for the French version?

Many thanks...

Thanks VIncent. I like the end, although I feel "vrai pro" may be underselling our man somewhat.
