I have had, and still have, the pleasure of reporting to Mattanja as my Head of Unit, both in her current, as well as in her previous position at the European Foundation. Mattanja has very mature and differentiated management and leadership skills, paired with corporate vision and strategic understanding. As a line manager, Mattanja is a very enabling manager, who encourages and brings out the best in the people working in her team. She leads by example by consistently providing high level quality work herself, thus setting high yet achievable standards, which she expects her team to aspire to also, as indeed anyone in the organisation. She is very effective at managing and leading well in all directions: down, up and across. With her facilitative management style, she empowers and enables staff in her own team, as well as her peers, to achieve organisational and personal objectives. In her current role, she makes important contributions to the organisational development, strategic orientation and alignment of the organisation, and has developed a forward looking, service oriented, and innovative vision for the role of her unit.

Mattanja is an experienced Head of Unit at the European Foundation. She possesses a thorough knowledge of relevant EU policies and regulations and knows how to interpret and implement them. She is an excellent communicator and negotiator. She is able to deliver messages timely and effectively. She is open minded and able to motivate staff. Mattanja is able to provide for quality deliverables with a great sense of humanity: she never looses track of staffs' needs and personalities, while ensuring excellent outputs. She is highly skilled in strategic planning, project management and management of public procurement procedures and contracts.
