HELENA’s vision
“I believe that ownership is the key to success.
I know which DNA a person should have to be successful living and working abroad. I know what companies are looking for, when trying to fill key positions for their subsidiaries in Africa. I have “field expertise”.
Through my career, I have experienced how hard it can be to find and keep the right talent and to keep teams motivated, especially in a multi-cultural and sometimes difficult or remote environment. I have experienced first-hand what people can mean for a company, how enriching different cultural backgrounds can be and how the right person can help a company grow and flourish.
For me, a good leader is surrounded by better people. He or she has relevant experience, is positive, willing to lead by example, a good communicator, gives credit to those who deserve it, embraces differences in his team, and really goes the extra mile to achieve his goals.”
