Testimonials

 

Diana is a highly motivated professional. In a difficult situation she quickly set direction and subsequently gained commitment from her team. She sets tangible guidelines and has a clear opinion about how the marketing and communications field should be fulfilled in the organisation. I have come to know Diana for an integer and engaging colleague.

 

Diana is an excellent manager for teams that are going trough changes. She is an active and independent interim manager. To me active means ‘considering, thinking, daring and taking action’ and Diana shows a good balance in these four characteristics.

Diana has vision on the Marketing and Communications profession, she enables these disciplines in the organisation, she monitors the necessary quality and ensures the individual roles of the people are in line with what is needed. Her level of quality is high, she expects that of her team members and shows the right model behaviour.

Her management style is open and transparent. She does not avoid an argument and at the same time respects possible accompanying issues. She can fairly easy change her style as necessary. In addition she has shown a good sensitivity concerning the consequences of her actions towards co-managers and members of the Board of Directors.

The commitment and flexibility that Diana showed during her one full year assignment were extensive. Consequently, I am extremely satisfied with the way she has fulfilled this assignment."

I have come to know Diana as a very committed professional. Empathic and sensitive, however, when needed also tough on the professional content. Together with Diana and the local project team I have implemented an improvement programme at a large local bank. As no one else, Diana managed to connect the commercial directorates and the staff department she was leading as an interim manager. Therefore, the bank was able:

• to better work according to standardised processes and reduce waste.
• to be more aware of and estimate the dynamics in the market.
• to become more aware of efficiency possibilities and clear job demarcation in staff departments.
• Lean Six Sigma is applicable for the whole organisation.

Diana’s enthusiasm for implementing the theory of Lean Six Sigma in her own department created a lot of positive energy for me and the project team members and it helped the bank in accomplishing an above average, well done result."

We have come to know Diana as a very involved, committed and enthusiastic colleague. Characteristic is her way of working with other people, and her positive, professional, service minded and practical attitude. With her enthusiasm she always creates a positive and nice environment. In addition, I always valued her effectiveness and decisiveness very much: whenever she is committed to a task, she makes sure it gets done." Her dedication to getting things done is admirable. She operates in any complex situation. She is capable of managing projects and people at the same time. And she is fun to work with."

Diana and I were managing the implementation of an internal communication site (based on a content management system) for some 20.000 employees in 20 countries. I liked her passion and dedication which led us into some interesting and challenging discussions, which always were productive and focussed on improving the outcome.

I think without her constant inspiration for getting yet a better solution we would have not archived the high quality system we got in the end. Working with Diana was always pleasing, even when we disagreed on details we always were good spirited, the team was in harmony and the project really progressed based on this. I really miss her and would love to work with her again."

Diana has always committed herself to perform her activities to our full satisfaction. She is pleasant to work with and a fine and loyal colleague."
