Heleen is very motivated and dedicated to her work and a specialist in management and sharing of knowledge, with great care for details. She is excellent at unraveling complex issues and break them down to easy-to-digest blocks. Heleen is also pleasant to work with and she brings a "comfort" atmosphere, you just know it's in good hands with her!
