 As President of the European Alliance against Depression (EAAD) I have had the great pleasure over the past 3 years to cooperate with Ainslie O'Connor both as an employee and now on a consultancy basis. From the very beginning, I was deeply impressed by the excellence of her work which was not only done in light speed but also with wisdom and profound experience in handling international social interactions and issues. EAAD is deeply thankful to Ainslie, because the successful application for three EU-grants was in a large part due to her contributions. Finally, and this is a rare virtue, Ainslie is not only doing a job in an excellent manner, but she is fully committed far beyond that in her collaboration with EAAD, the team and the aims of this NGO.

 Ainslie has excellent interpersonal and communications skills, which greatly facilitate the smooth and low-friction delivery of large-scale projects involving multiple world-leading experts across a range of disciplines. Ainslie effectively steers multidisciplinary teams of scientists, administrators, researchers and industry actors, to deliver complex multi-year multi-national projects, such as those funded under the European Union’s Horizon programmes. She engages and addresses challenges and issues as they arise in large-scale projects, by combining her own experience and knowledge with the specific capabilities of her collaborators. She maintains a clear focus on solving problems in a timely manner, so that broader-scale impacts are avoided and thus projects proceed smoothly and effectively.
