Bio
Erik Winge
Karla worked with me for around 4 years with the Cambambe hydroelectric project in Angola. Karla has throughout her time in the project displayed extraordinary skills and talent in the broad field of communications management. She can adapt her written and verbal communication superbly to suit any situation, whether it’s selling a product or a service, closing the cultural and language gap between Voith and its customer, and enabling a common understanding and finding a way forward in a negotiation and conflict situation. She has also contributed substantially with her knowledge and experience in the areas of training, coaching and Human Resources. She is honest, hardworking, always focusing on the end goal and creative in terms of getting there, a doer that reaches her goals. I would warmly recommend Karla to anyone!

I have worked together with Karla during 2 years in the Cambambe II project. In this project she worked mediating relationship between stakeholders. She was able to mediate the discussion of technical issues with people from Sweden, Germany, Brazil and Angola in Portuguese, English and Swedish languages without having any problem. Thanks her evaluable capacity to understand the different cultures of the participants involved in the meetings, she was able to translate and explain the diverse points of view and help us to converge to a same point in the discussions. She is a key person in solution of the problems. Personally, she helped me when I decided to change my job. She gave me support to develop an action plan and the key parameters to find the most adequate job for me. She is a person that I like to work with and always want to have in my team.
