Bio
Simon Strand „Have you ever met Karin? A strict yes or no question. Options like "I'm not sure" or "I can’t remember" are not valid. If you had met her, you would be sure, you would remember. Karin leaves imprints. It’s as simple as that. I don’t know if it is due to her eloquence, friendliness, patience, brightness or her beautiful smile. Perhaps is it the combo. She’s got all that top-performing managers have, if you take aside the corporate bullshitting. There’s no one I can think who can better manage complex projects than Karin. She’d be my first pick if I were in a position where I could pick. Unfortunately, I'm not. There are bad project managers and despotic project managers that are not very good but assure results through hard power. Karin is in her own category. She makes sure the team outperforms even without being an asshole. That’s why she is on numerous
best pick lists of mine: best pick in projects, best pick as a dinner companion, as a sounding board, as a chit-chat companion and as a PR specialist. My final advice to you is: don’t give her a job offer. That would be a tragedy, not for you and not for her (or I can't tell that, but I have high regards about you guys reading this), but for us. She is indispensable.
Robert Zillen „There are two things you can be certain of when working with Karin: 1. You will accomplish something great 2. You will have a lot of fun getting there Karin brings out the best in the people she is working with, and she is not one who settles for second best. She is ambitious, smart and humble. A person you most definitely want on your team.
