"I worked with Angelika for over 8 years in the Global Fund for Women watching her grow from Program Associate to eventually become the Regional Program Director. Her passion for women's rights and gender justice, her deep commitment to and knowledge of the Eurasia region, combined with her sharp mind and curiosity for learning contributed to the Global Fund for Women's deepening relationships and credibility with women's rights organizations across the region. She always knew how to sustain and support the needs and respond to the challenges facing a growing and thriving regional portfolio of grants, while remaining humble and open to the voices of women in the field. She worked closely with multiple advisors and grantees in 40 plus countries and was committed to amplifying the voices of women and trans activists in each community and context to ensure Global Fund's contribution to feminist organizing. Angelika led a few key outreach trips in Central Asia, Caucasus, and Balkans during very complex times in the region and always managed to bring together key voices, listen to them, and build solid collective strategy and process. Angelika was well respected as Program Director in the region and her work after the Global Fund for Women has continued to strongly contribute to feminist organizing and thought leadership. I was also pleased to be able to work as colleagues during my time at the Ford Foundation - when Angelika led work on resource mobilization for the Association of Women's Rights in Development, AWID. I know she will be an asset to our movement for feminist work in all she does."

- Kavita Nandini Ramdas, Director, Women's Rights Program at Open Society Foundations

"Angelika is a thoughtful facilitator and fierce advocate. As a facilitator, she is able to engage and draw out diverse knowledges in a room, to navigate and redress power differences so that people can contribute fully and is able to steer a group to achieve the goals of the gathering. Angelika brings her humor and care into every space. As an influencer, she is passionate about ensuring that feminist, women's rights and LGBTIQ activism can be sustained. She is a persuasive and effective advocate and changemaker."

- Hakima Abbas, Co-Executive Director of AWID

"I've had the good fortune to work with Angelika in several roles over the past decade +. She brings a sharp analytical mind, warm sense of humor, and dedicated commitment to gender justice and human rights work the world over. Most recently, our team worked with Angelika on a convening in Kyrgyzstan - she was a superb facilitator and wise counsel for our team during their outreach in this region."

- Caitlin Stanton, Director, Learning & Partnerships at Urgent Action Fund

"Angelika has great skills in research, strategic planning, organizational development and feminist management. She is an expert in the Eurasia region and global feminist movement. She has a unique expertise in grassroots feminist movement, research and advocacy."

- Gohar Shahnazaryan, Director of the Center for Gender and Leadership Studies, Yerevan State University

"Angelika has a rare combination of political analysis, research acumen, and knowledge of social movements globally. She brings this together in every aspect of her work, including within feminist funding research, grantmaking, and policy analysis. She has an unflinching commitment to amplifying the priorities of the movements with which she partners and understanding the specific contexts in which activists, organizations, and funders operate."

- Kellea Shay Miller, Manager, Resourcing Feminist Movements at Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID)

"Angelika is an impressive, committed and extremely knowledgeable women´s rights advocate. Her on-the-ground experience supporting grassroots organizations combined with her global experience and sharp understanding of social movements and world political trends are unique assets for any organization and project. She is analytical, strategic and passionate, all reasons why I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again."

- Macarena Aguilar, Advocacy, communications and partnerships

"Angelika is as great at organizing large-scale global events (making it seem easy and un-rushed) as she is at facilitating workshop sessions, moderating panels or simply in intensive conversations in small circles. I appreciate her research work on funding trends for its new, unconventional angles, for creating entire new fields for exploration, analysis and policy. Angelika's reports are never technocratic or cluttered with acronyms. They are readable and tell powerful stories that go on to become the drive behind change, as I have witnessed several times myself."

- Almut Rochowanski, Works on civil society development, women's empowerment, human rights with grass-roots and international organizations

"Angelika is a passionate and committed feminist activist who brings enormous positive energy, good humour, intelligence and experience to her work. She is able to effectively facilitate complex meetings and processes of collaboration among very different people and organizations. She has in-depth knowledge of the women's rights and gender justice actors and priorities of her region as well as globally and has made significant contributions to expanding the quantity and quality of resources for feminist organizing at both the global and regional level."
