Career

Heleen Mees breakthrough as an opinion writer in the Netherlands came in 2006 when she wrote 'Women should finally get to work.'[3] Mees is a contributor at Project Syndicate[4] and the Financial Times' Economist Forum.[5] > Her work has been published in the Financial Times,[6] The New York Times,[7] Le Monde,[8] The International Herald Tribune,[9] and in Foreign Policy.[10] From 2006 to 2010, she was columnist for NRC Handelsblad[11] and from 2012 to 2013 for Het Financieele Dagblad.[12] Mees is the author of three books.

Mees was Adjunct Associate Professor of Economics at New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service until July 2013. Mees was previously Assistant Professor of Economics at Tilburg University in Tilburg and a researcher at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. Mees also worked for the European Commission in Brussels and the Dutch Treasury in The Hague.

Her doctoral research focused on monetary policy and the macroeconomic consequences of the rise of China and other emerging economies. The central theme of her 2012 PhD thesis is that China's boom caused the financial crisis and ensuing economic recession. Mees graduated both in economics and law at University of Groningen in Groningen, Netherlands. She has a doctorate from Erasmus University in Rotterdam.[13]

In 2006 Mees co-founded Women on Top,[14] an organization that advocates more women in top jobs. Mees campaigned for 30% representation of women on board of directors. The Dutch parliament subsequently passed legislation requiring company boards to strive for gender balance, i.e. minimum 30% representation of each sex on both the supervisory board as well as the executive board.[15]

In July 2013, Mees was arrested in New York on charges of stalking her former lover, the chief economist of Citigroup, Willem Buiter.[16] In March 2014, all charges against Mees were set for dismissal.[17]

Mees lives in Brooklyn, New York.[18]
