Back in 2008 Ilia joined the Internal Audit team after completing her Corporate Governance specialization at the Athens Kapodistrian University. During our seven years of cooperation, Ilia proved to be a competent representative of the Internal Audit Services Department. She quickly assumed responsibilities in Operational Audits due to her Mine Engineering background. She speaks fluently English and French so she was a valuable asset in our audits outside Greece. What characterize her most are her maturity, ethos, and commitment and she has demonstrated a high level of adaptability, efficiency, and team spirit.

I had the great pleasure to closely collaborate with Ilia during the six years she was an active and dedicated member of the IMA Communication Steering Committee (2001 - 2006), representing EUBA, the European Bentonite Association. During this time, we worked together on several big and exciting projects, such as an Awareness Campaign on industrial minerals for the sector at large, with the development of educational tools, building up to the European Minerals Day amongst others. Ilia contributed greatly to the Committee, not only through her in-depth knowledge of minerals - being a mining engineer - and sharing the company's good practices, but also through her very warm personality and team spirit.

We had the great pleasure to work with Ilia Bardani while she was holding the position of Investor Relations Manager at S&B and thanks to her excellent work, her dedication to detail, her accuracy, her punctuality, her interlligence, her kindness, her talent in communication and in financial communication, we had an excellent cooperation - please note that these are very few of Ilias talents since we sincerely believe that whoever works with her, will be very lucky and happy - not only she is an excellent professional of high quality but moreover an excellent person of quality, humanity, trust and noblesse ! we at Capital Link from New York and from Athens who had this pleasure to work with Ilia, we strongly recommend her and are at everyone s disposal for any additional questions or/and inforarmation - Olga Bornozi - Vice President Capital Link Athens and Nicolas Bornozis - President Capital link New York
