Elena Gutierrez is a Sales and Operation Planning y Resource manager ( Ibérica and Italia ) at KONE. Colleagues describe her as "I worked with Elena over many years on major and medium sized Vertical Transportation Projects in Spain, France and Portugal. I always found her to be very reliable as she delivered these sometimes very intricate projects, on time and without unreliability issues following store opening. This was a great comfort to our mutual employer. Elena’s success was in no small part due the her excellent internal and external communication skills, where she would coordinate with the Client , his representatives, her Senior Management, Chinese manufacturing plant, through shipping and customs to European site delivery, where her prior preparation, calm and assertive site supervision, always met the tight programmes that were requested far too often. Elena was always responsive and would pick up phone calls emails and messages and respond quickly with a considered approach to the request. Elena’s performance made sure we had no reason to look elsewhere as we always felt assured that she would deliver. As a Vertical Transport Consultant my job is always made simple when professional care about what they do and Elena cared a great deal about her success in her role and her companies image. It was a pleasure to work so long with an industry professional like Elena who performs consistently well in all aspects of her role and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, without reservation as she learns very quickly and I fully expect her to progress through the industry into a very senior role.
