Heleen Mees (born Heleen Nijkamp, 1968, Hengelo)[1] is a Dutch opinion writer, economist and lawyer. Involved with politics and public policy in the Netherlands and the US, she has also taught at universities in both countries.

Biography

Mees graduated in Economy and Law at University of Groningen. From 1992 to 1998, Mees worked for the Dutch Treasury in The Hague, two years as spokeswoman for former State Secretary Willem Vermeend.[1] Mees worked for the European Commission in Brussels from 1998 to 2000.[1] In 2000 she emigrated to the USA, where she changed her surname from Nijkamp to Mees.[2]

In New York Mees was initially employed as a European affairs consultant for Ernst & Young.[1][3] When her contract was not renewed, Mees stayed in New York and worked as an independent consultant on European affairs.[1] Mees also started writing opinion pieces for several Dutch newspapers.

Mees' breakthrough as an opinion writer (she is credited as a third wave feminist[4]) in the Netherlands came in 2006 when she wrote "The time is long overdue that women should go to work", her first feminist opinion piece in NRC Handelsblad.[5] The same year, she co-founded Women on Top, an organization that until 2011 advocated more women in top jobs.[6] As a firm advocate of female ambition and a promoter of more women in the supervisory and executive boards of big companies, Mees has been described as a "power feminist".[7]

From 2006 to 2010 she wrote a bi-weekly column in NRC Handelsblad, and from 2012 to 2013 a weekly column for Het Financieele Dagblad.[8] She has written for publications such as Foreign Policy and the Financial Times.[9][10] Mees is a columnist for Project Syndicate and for Capital.[11][12] In September 2015 she was a guest columnist for de Volkskrant.[13]

She was vice-president of the chapter of the Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) in New York.[14] From 2005 to 2008[15] she worked as volunteer-fundraiser for the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.[3]

In August 2012, Mees completed a doctoral thesis at the Erasmus School of Economics, focusing on the effect of China's economy on the emergence of the 2008 global financial crisis.[16] While completing her research, she worked as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Tilburg University.[17] From September 2012 until July 2013, Mees was employed as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Public Administration at New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.[18]

In July 2013, Mees was arrested in New York on charges of stalking her former lover, the chief economist of Citigroup, Willem Buiter.[19] In March 2014, the court decided that the case against Mees was to be dismissed in one year provided that she complies with two conditions.[20] Later that year, in June 2014, Mees responded by filing for damages in excess of $20,000,000 against Buiter. [21] On July 17, 2015, the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed Mees to gather evidence for the defamation case in the Netherlands.[22]
