GÉANT (United Kingdom)

Helga Spitaler

As part of the International Relations team at GÉANT, for over 10 years Helga has been involved in regional network projects across the globe, providing marketing support, mentoring colleagues in these regions and arguing the case for NRENs and R&E networking with an application-driven approach.
In this respect she has developed a passion for engaging in particular with less traditional user communities with high societal impact potential which also resulted in her involvement in the ‘In The Field' blog.
Prior to joining the R&E networking world, Helga was an Executive Education Programme Manager at the Judge Business School in Cambridge, following a stint in event management in the US and after years spent in a soundproof simultaneous interpretation booth.
