Helga and I worked on the same regional operations team for 3 years while at Novozymes, where she was always ready to lead projects involving new data processes, technologies and challenges. She dove into the deep end learning tools and programs brand new to our team to develop an innovative sustainability KPI tracking board. This dashboard became a template for our team to follow because of its simplicity of conveying info and novelty of design.

Helga was very easy to work and communicate with, never afraid to ask challenging questions that pushed our projects forward. Her approachable nature and dedication were fundamental in making our team an enjoyable and productive one.
Her expertise and passion for sustainability will undoubtedly be an asset to any organization. If you want a project to be streamlined, environmentally conscious and data driven you should get Helga on your team!

Helga has demonstrated excellence in ESG leadership!

Helga helped guide and support my transition into the role as Environmental Specialist for an ISO14001 company. She dedicated time away from her new role in Sustainability to provide the technical expertise and knowledge required to effectively manage local EMS, regulatory environmental compliance, and internal sustainability goals. Helga was also instrumental in guiding all of the regional site’s corporate targets in ESG, her efforts helped us all stay on track at realizing objectives such as contextual water management plans and recycling targets.

One of the standouts from the transition, was the extreme organization of documentation and resources that Helga handed down. Often, answers and solutions were easily identified simply through navigating the organized folders and content.
Helga is always willing to lend her support and is an encouraging voice on a team, who also values her professional relationships and shows genuine interest in her colleagues’ ambitions and interests.

I enjoyed working with and collaborating with Helga over the years, and highly recommend her.

I have worked with Helga for several years and can only recommend her. She is a skilled sustainability and EHS specialist, and, in addition, she has fantastic energy and humour, which positively contributes to any team. She always steps up when a task needs to be done and is always professional, easy to work with and very helpful. She will be a great asset to any team, and I recommend her most warmly.

Helga is a strategic leader. Together we worked on sustainability improvement projects and dramatically reduced the volumes of materials sent to landfills. Helga's commitment to and knowledge of circularity solutions can drive your company's achievement of its sustainability goals.
