Bio
Matthieu BONNERY
Passionnée de géopolitique, de relations internationales, d'OSINT et de technologie, Ataa a su s'acquitter avec brio des missions qui lui avaient été confiées à l'époque, tout en affrontant un management toxique qui cherchait à vampiriser son savoir-faire, son travail et surtout sa joie de vivre. Aujourd'hui, que de chemin parcouru! Ame et coeur du SHR, elle a su fédérer autour d'elle une équipe à son image : jeune, dynamique et désireuse d'apprendre. Car Ataa, au delà d'une personnalité attachante et d'une grosse force de travail, c'est aussi quelqu'un qui sait écouter, prendre les conseils et les restituer avec brio, tout en respectant ceux qui cherchent à l'aider à progresser sans jamais prendre ombrage des critiques, pourvu qu'elles soient positives et argumentées. Alors, dire que je recommande Ataa, ce serait bien mais un peu court. A tous ceux qui sont intéressés par son profil, foncez tête baissée et rapprochez-vous au plus vite d'elle. Vous en tirerez une expérience unique, et une énergie positive qui vous animera pendant longtemps!

I have the chance to work with Ataa since November 2019. Throughout my time with SHR, whether as an active member or as a member of the Committee, I've always valued her professionalism and her leadership and management skills. She has taught me to believe in my own skills and develop them through different projects and tasks. Ataa is a real leader and knows how to motivate and boost her team. Ataa also has high competencies in research and analysis, as well as very high writing skills. She is able in a short-time period to write very comprehensive and thorough articles on security and defense. She has extensive knowledge in human rights and (private) security. Without no doubt, Ataa would be a wonderful and valuable asset for any company. Best regards, Céline Damil
