Bio
Rasmus Reinvang
Karina worked for me as political secretary for urban development, while I was Vice Mayor of Urban Development in Oslo. She plunged straight into a new and complex field at short notice, involving intense political negotiations in the City Council, management of the Department of urban development, communications and media work, as well as serving as a trusted political advisor to the Vice Mayor. I was impressed by the skills and positive energy Karina displayed in this multidimensional and demanding role. Karina is a true believer in a good cause, with relentless energy, a quick mind, a no-nonsene attitude that bodes for effectivene implementation, as well as charm and a good laugh that ensures a pleasant working environment. I can recommend Karina for any kind of work, in which the above mentioned tasks and qualities pertain.

It was a pleasure to work with Karina who is an enthusiastic individual. She has very good communication, organisation and analytical skills and always on time to meet deadlines.
