She has a pragmatic approach, really listening to the business needs and taking into consideration the stage at which the business is.

“Heleen and I have worked together intensively for over four years at RWE/Essent. I have come to know Heleen as a hard-working and loyal legal professional. Heleen skillfully combines legal insight and instinct with creativity and pragmatism. Heleen is a proactive go-getter, she always goes the extra mile to achieve results, but duly respects everyone's interests. Finally, Heleen is a very nice and energetic colleague with a great sense of humor!"

“Heleen started working with me as a leader of a business and has shown great mental capability to adapt to the business needs in an environment which was very different from the sector she came from. She showed how to add value, while maintaining the legal parameters clear for the business and allowing the legal piece to be a strategic part of the business agreements and discussions.
Having shown that having her on the team and involved in strategic discussions had clear value to her as our legal counsel, as well as to the team in evaluating options, I asked her to join our leadership team in order to support and help lead the implementation of our strategy. Heleen contributed strongly and supported the different business functions in many ways. Great having her on our team!” Marco Bootz

“I worked with Heleen intensively during the build-up of RWE Netherlands, acquisition of Powerhouse, the expansion in Belgium, the incorporation of Offshore Wind and ultimately the take over of Essent and the integration of RWE & Essent. Heleen shows great dedication to get things done. Her extensive legal background and ability to combine this with a creative mindset, sense for business and pleasant open communication made Heleen the ideal business partner for me during these challenging developments and projects. With Heleen, legal awareness in the organisation comes naturally and always with a smile, making her very effective in building the required relationships and enabling her to lead multi-disciplinary processes such as with works councils and supervisory boards. Heleen is the legal counsel that sees the business opportunities and provides the legal solution that supports this instead of the other way around. It was a real joy working with Heleen especially as we, together with the team, succeeded in so many challenging projects and turbulent times. And last but not least she has a great sense of humor, and really get things done!”
