Her genuine interest in issue, understanding of business needs in long term value creation was refreshing and highly appreciated. Vaida is forward looking, able to bring hard topics into attention in diplomatic way as well as remaining humble in cooperation process. I would highly recommend her as risk advisor for business.

Vaida has a very extensive experience in the Operational Risk Management area, having worked with both the 1st line and the 2nd line. I appreciated Vaida's structured way of working and would without hesitation recommend her for a senior management position in Operational Risk Management.
