Bio
Óskar Friðrik Sigmarsson
I had the pleasure of working with Hildur Arna as part of the PMO team at ON Power, where she was responsible for the project portfolio and related processes. I enjoyed working with Hildur Arna and could immediately see that she is an experienced professional and highly knowledgeable when it comes to project portfolio management. She is focused, process minded and can quickly spot where to improve to create more value. Hildur Arna is also a versatile person that thrives in a challenging environment and can tackle whatever comes her way. I therefore give Hildur Arna my sincerest recommendations for any leadership role as well as a highly skilled professional in the PPM and PMO field alike.
