Olga would be a great contributor to any HR team. I have worked on several projects & presentations with her during our ISCTE Business School studies in 2014-2015 and we have kept in touch since then. I have witnessed her passion for HR, professionalism with a high focus on quality and critical thinking. She knows how to balance building relationships with achieving objectives. I have always admired her growth as an individual in the last few years in terms of focus on her own development and multicultural awareness. Olga is truly a hard-working reliable professional and would definitely break down a challenge with a lot of enthusiasm!
