Bio
Robert Rowe
At Hitachi Vantara, I worked with Katinka on a number of occasions across our EMEA region. Intellectually sharp, organised and efficient, Katinka was able to act either as a great senior team member or as the leader of the team, as an when required. I particularly liked the way that she adapted herself to complement those she worked with, filling gaps in knowledge and delivery, and just being competent.
Marco Steenbock
Katinka and I have worked together in the EMEA Engagement Management Team. I get to know her as a very competent, analytic and straight forward person. Always willing to listen and to share her thoughts and experience with others, but at the same time having a clear view and drive to the desired outcome. This a coupled with a very pleasant personality, which makes it very easy and comfortable to work with at the same time!
