Kristine is one of the most hard-working people I have ever met. She is very loyal and she delivers with excellence. Her people skills deals with all kinds of situations, from negotiations with partners and investors to contributing to the entrepreneurs. She is ambitious and persistent. She has the overview of the big picture as well as an eye for details. Kristine is a great manager - she is direct and has a great drive, she is courageous and she sees exactly what is needed for the individuals to perform at their best. I recommend Kristine to everyone who is ready to create an impact.

I had the distinct pleasure to work with Kristine at FreeCode during a most difficult period for the company. Her considerable inter-personal skills and maturity help all members of staff cope with the pressures endured when an organisation starts to fail. She is a most intelligent and capable young woman with a keenness to learn and the ability to do so quickly and accurately. In a very short time she became pivotal to the daily activities of the company while also providing a high level of management support for administrative and financial operations also. I cannot recommend Kristine too highly for any position. She is honest, hard working, 100% reliable and is also a great team member and catalyst for collaboration. My only regret is that her professional interests lie outside my scope of activities and so we may not be able to work together again. I should say that I will probably keep trying to employ her, but hope that she finds a role that truly suits her and her not inconsiderable skills, training and broadening experiences.
