It's been lovely getting to know you the past few months, and learning from your thorough, practical and creative approach. I'll miss chatting with you over lunch in the office. :) Wishing you much success and happiness as you return to litigation! Christian

Wishing you all the best in the new role!

It was a pleasure to work with you when we got the chance, you will be missed! I wish you all the best for your new adventure!! Diana

We have not worked together for that long - but I feel like we have known each other for ages. Wishing you all the best in your next job at Barents Krans, I hope it will bring you everything you hoped for!

Thank you for getting me off to such a great start at GPI, and for having my back. Barents Krans is extremely lucky to have you!

Kind regards,

Roos

P.S. For clarity purposes (of course, we remain lawyers at all times ;-)): the meme of course is supposed to refer to your capabilities, not mine ;-)

I wish you the best of luck and so much happiness in this new chapter. I wanted to thank you for all the valuable insight you have shared with me. I have appreciated the opportunities to work with you and learn from you. Thanks so much and maybe we stay in touch!

Eva

enjoy your next chapter being back in the litigation arena! Wishing you happiness, fulfilment, and all the best!

Warmly,

Lou

Congratulations!! I hope the new job is everything you want and I look forward to keeping in touch and hearing all about your career in litigation! All the best, you are so amazing and your new team is super lucky to have you.

Love, Anamika

I wish you all the best in your new job! I hope it’s a great fit and that you find it rewarding and interesting. I really enjoyed the lunch conversations we had and appreciated your feminist perspectives and book suggestions. Also, I'll never forget the fabulous "I am Kenough" sweater–– I just had to buy it after seeing you wearing it!

Big hug,

Ale

We have been colleagues twice already in this journey of law-life! Last time, I departed first and found my home. This time, you go to forge a new pathway in your career, reconnect with the things you love and where your passion is. I hope you find a home sweet home as well.

Thank you for taking on the toughest work, bringing structure and making our armour the sturdiest it has ever been...and also for wrestling all the dragons for us over here like a true rainbow warrior.

Wishing you a lot of fun and exciting cases (again), where you are sure to shine bright!

Love,

Michelle

Thank you very much for all your detailed legal work to protect our global network. It really is appreciated. It's been great to get to know you. You've been always dependance, ever analytical, even when dealing with some super frustrating situations (and individuals). Good luck with the next steps!

David Tong

You will be greatly missed! It’s been such a pleasure working with you. Thank you for your company on Fridays and during those late evenings at the office: it was always nice to know I wasn’t the only one still around! Even if we were working at different desks, having you there made it so much better.

I will really miss our chats, and especially your precious advice. Thanks for everything and as I always say, this world is pretty small, so I’m sure we’ll meet again soon.

Ciao

Valentina

Sometimes a verdict becomes final, even if you disagree with it. That's how I feel about your departure: I would like to shout ‘Objection, Your Honour!’, but there are no more legal remedies...

So I accept that it is justified and in accordance with the rules – well, joking aside: It is great that it suits your intentions and that you can start a new chapter in your professional career!

Thank you for everything you have done for Greenpeace as a whole and for so many of us personally.

All the best!

Gertrud Körbler

I want to wish you the best in your next professional step! I promise that you will never forget the time in Greenpeace. Big hug!

Marcelo

I am going to miss you. You have been my point of reference not only for all the contracts and queries I have been submitting your team's way all this time, but also because I have been religiously booking the desk next to yours twice a week, knowing that perhaps someone from Legal would have had more rights to take it. It was just a greatly located desk and you've been a great desk neighbor to talk to. I will miss your calm, friendly, reassuring manners and I hope I didn't distract you too much with my talking, in which case, thank you for your patience, as well as for all your help so far. I wish you all the best with your life and your career... And please don't become a stranger :-)

Hugs,

Alessia

I will miss you greatly, with your gentle patience and attention to every detail. This phase has been complex, and you have taught us a lot, including that legal matters can make sense! It has been a pleasure and an honour to work with you, and I will miss you in the coming period. A hug and best wishes for a new page in your life. Liliana

I couldn't resist to use this photo as you scoot off on to your next adventure.

It's been quite a ride. You have seen the highs and the lows but we are definitely in a better place for all of your support.

Thank you for being such a professional and diligent colleague. I have really valued all the support and advice you have have provided and specifically getting us to the point we are at now in the governance review. You have been a real trooper!

Good luck and all the best to you

Take care

Alexis

As Senior Legal Counsel, you’ve been the calm eye in many of Greenpeace International’s governance storms. Your guidance through the governance review has been invaluable: thoughtful and steady. And of course, we’ll never forget the 'epic saga' of the board liability insurance. As a board member, it was reassuring to have an 'A-team' counsel guiding us.

All the best with your future endeavours. And thank you for your dedication and wisdom in the past three years. You leave a legacy of integrity, clarity, and care.

Celeste

Thank you for your contribution over these past years. Thank you for stepping up and into the role when it was most needed and for skillfully navigating a risky period for us all. Our organisational armor is stronger thanks to your hard work, ideas and focussed dedication and for that we owe you great appreciation and grattitude. In addition I have really enjoyed working with you. I wish you all the best in your next adventure.

Mads

Thank you very much for all your support across different topics. It has been a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best for this next step in your career.

Melanie Nino

I wish you all the very best in your future endeavours. It has been lovely to meet you and work with you.

Estefania

It has been great working together over the last years - both in regards to the ship, but as well on other projects! You'll be missed by many. Thanks for all the support in the various projects and to make yourself available to deal with important issues, even during very busy times.

I wish you all the best on your next opportunity and hope you will enjoy what comes next! The good thing about someone leaving, is that at least we have someone to blame for the months to come :)

Best wishes,

Justin

Although we have known each other for several years, our real journey together began one year ago.  And what a year it has been! What a lot of work, with deadlines lurking around every corner. But we did it! We finished the drafts on time. A big part of this success is down to you. You were amazing! You were always prepared, you always had ideas for overcoming obstacles and you always had that fine ironic smile. In short, you're wonderful, and I'll miss you dearly!  

You will always be part of the dream team!

Susanne

PS: Please remember: Warsaw is a great place to visit in December...

It was such a pleasure working with you! Thanks a million for your great expertise combined with an open and solution oriented mindset! You will be deeply missed in Greenpeace. All the best for your next adventure, hoping it will be fulfilling (if not, then you can always come back ;-)

Sophie, Devo

Much love,

Kasey

I’ll miss your sharp insights and your uncanny ability to turn chaos into legal strategy. But more than anything, I’ll miss the care and dedication you brought to the team every single day.

They’re seriously lucky to have you. And remember — if things ever get too quiet over there, we’re only one chaotic group chat away.

Thank you for everything: the laughs, the late nights, the lessons, and the memories. Wishing you every success (and a big dose of happiness) in this next chapter.

With all the love,
Robin 💚

Thank you for your dedication, smarts, and care over the past three years. You have had a tremendous impact at Greenpeace International from the new ship to improved governance and building a more robust armour team. I truly valued your advice and partnership and will miss each day working with you. BUT I'm so happy you're returning to litigation and following your heart and dreams. I can't wait to catch up over a beer the next time we're in Amsterdam at the same time. You always have a home in Boulder, Colorado should your travels take you there. With much love and respect, Kristin Casper xo

I appreciate you so much! How lucky am I to have worked with you - bright, talented, generous, smart, focused... You're truly an inspiration and a real partner, the one the would go above and beyond for our work together.

You're amazing and you deserve the absolute best - I'm sure you'll thrive in your new challenge, and they're so so lucky to have you!

Thank for everything we've done together. It was really special working with you.

Sending you love,

Mariana

ps.: I'll miss the time when our names were mixed in inumerous meetings of the NS core team. ;-)

It has been really great to work with you on different projects and in different spaces (including at the AGMs!). You will be missed at GPI. I wish you all the best with your next endeavour! You'll make important contributions there, too. I hope that our paths cross again in the future :-) 

Warmly,

Julie

Thank you for being a constantly calm and reassuring presence in every single meeting I've ever been in with you. I've loved working with you in our short period of GPI overlap, and I'm only sorry it's over so soon. I'll raise a glass to you on every legal victory (or irritating contract signed) that will continue to roll in because of everything you've done long after you've gone.

Good luck back on the suing side.

Chris x

I would like to wish you all the best in your next chapter. You have been an amazing partner. Your calmness, openness, and knowledge will be missed. Thank you for all you have done for us.

I am sure you will excel in any place that you go.

Stay well and in touch

Beijos dani

It is not easy to spot you in this picture but I do see you having fun and being there dedicated and strong for the good cause. I really enjoyed rooting for you and the other activists - a great start of our journey at GPI. Many wonderful conversations where to follow, always showing your strong dedication. And what always stands out for me is your professionalism in all the projects that you work on.

I will miss you as a sparring partner, one that keeps me sharp as a lawyer but most certainly I will miss you as a great colleague.

Have fun, take care of yourself there and and I can't wait to dance to activist punk music with you again!

Michel
