Bio
Jarno Koski
I am confident that Helena’s exceptional skills, professional experience and personal qualities will make her a powerful asset in any company she joins. Helena's duties consisted of customer service, giving guidance about working life, dispute solving and any ad hoc tasks that may have occurred. Sometimes very challenging clientele made her job particularly demanding but she handled the client meetings with her polite and professional manner. Her flexibility and social behaviour were of importance in the atmosphere and was the base for very positive cooperation within the PAM organisation. Helena proved herself to be an accurate and involved employee, who was always ready for new challenges. Jarno Koski regionchef Regional Manager jarno.koski@pam.fi
Minna Ahlstén
Helena was the closest colleague and also the teacher to me as an assistant in the team. Helena was responsible for dividing tasks and guiding our team’s assistants through the assignments. The work was really versatile and Helena always carried on with humour and professionalism. I will gladly recommend her to similar or even more challenging, team leading positions as she can manage and lead people with respect and talent. And for the record Helena does have the talent that not many leaders today do: she also remembers to take care of the wellbeing of herself and her team. That says it all, in my opinion.
