Karen is an inspirational leader who I have learnt so much from over the past five years. Her passion and drive for HR has really helped to change the perception of HR and enabled it to become a real business partner. Karen's focus on process and policy has enabled the business to monitor and drive performance. Growing talent and inspiring others has been championed by Karen since she joined IAC, through the introduction of Leadership and Management development programmes, culture change towards coaching and structured succession planning initiatives.

It is a true pleasure to work directly with Karen in the management team. She is reliable (walks the talk), outspoken, straightforward and honest. Committed to achieving ambitious goals that she sets for herself and her team based upon strong personal convictions, she has a high level of personal integrity and approaches people in all levels of the organization with the most utmost respect. Tremendous HR experience and leadership skills! I can definitely recommend her for senior HR roles in multicultural international organisations.

Over the last 4 years, I had the pleasure to work together with Karen in the European Management Team of IAC.

Karen is not only friendly and helpful, but also goes above and beyond to maintain the team spirit. I have seen Karen working her way through challenges and crises. She uses innovative approaches to tackling and solving problems.

Karen is always open to listening to the company needs and never compromises her professionalism, integrity, and work ethic. She creates an amazing experience for everyone working at the company.

She provided valued guidance on human resource processes and issues, as well as strategic resource management.

Karen Mancini has, with firm decision and logical approach, been an appreciated leader of the European HR team at IAC. As an operational leader I could always trust Karen to support or take the lead in difficult matters. Karen has been a business partner taking the team in operation the extra mile.
In between Karen also facilitated the weekly operational EU meetings with good results.
