Christina Mørk Hansen

Coloplast A/S hired Helena to help with one of our big development projects as we were short of hands. Helena stepped in from day one with great enthusiasm and lots of good ideas, delivered in a very respectful way, and quickly became one of the key drivers in our project. Helena is good fun and at the same time very professional. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough but also very efficient. Helena is a brilliant team player and our project has benefitted tremendously from having her onboard. I can highly recommend Helena.

Åsa Manelius

I strongly recommend Helena for her expertise in Medical Device Industry and standards, and for her efficiency and leadership in Quality Management
