Heleen Vink

I work in the Leiden office as a secretary to the Chief Sustainability Officer and Human Resources Manager, who are both part of the Executive Management Team of the IKEA Group. I support them in their efforts to make the world more “People & Planet Positive” (our Sustainability strategy) and IKEA “a great place to work” (our HR strategy). My hobbies are singing, enjoying music and travelling, so I look forward to learning new songs from the children I will meet in Bangladesh. Vanuit ons kantoor in Leiden werk ik als secretaresse van de Sustainability Officer en Human Resources Manager die beide onderdeel uit maken van het Executive Management Team van de IKEA Group. Ik ondersteun hen in hun missies de wereld “People & Planet Postive” te maken (onze Sustainability strategie) en IKEA “a great place to work”onze HR strategie). Mijn hobby’s zijn zingen, genieten van muziek en reizen. Ik hoop dat de kinderen die ik ga ontmoeten in Bangladesh mij hun liedjes zullen leren!
