Heleen Mees (born Heleen Nijkamp, 1968, Hengelo, Overijssel, Netherlands)[1][2] is a Dutch opinion writer, lawyer and economist. She is known in the Netherlands for her feminist views. Mees is a firm advocate of female ambition and a promoter of more women in the supervisory and executive boards of big companies.[3]

Early life and education

Mees was born Heleen Nijkamp[4][5] in 1968 and raised Catholic.[6][7] Mees graduated both in economics and law at University of Groningen in Groningen, Netherlands.[when?] She has a doctorate from Erasmus University in Rotterdam.[8] The central theme of her 2012 PhD thesis was that China's boom caused the financial crisis and ensuing economic recession. Her doctoral research focused on monetary policy and the macroeconomic consequences of the rise of China and other emerging economies.

Career

Heleen Mees' breakthrough as an opinion writer in the Netherlands came in 2006 when she wrote The time is long overdue that women should go to work.[9] The same year, she co-founded Women on Top, an organization that advocates more women in top jobs.[10] In 2008 she was fundraiser for the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.[11]

Mees is a contributor at Project Syndicate[12] and the Financial Times' Economist Forum blog.[13] From 2006 to 2010, she was columnist for NRC Handelsblad[14] and from 2012 to 2013 for Het Financieele Dagblad.[15][failed verification] Mees is the author of three books.

Mees was an employee of the European Commission in Brussels from 1998 to 2000.[16] From 1992 to 1998, she worked for the Dutch Treasury in The Hague, among other things as spokeswoman for former Secretary of State Willem Vermeend.[17]

Mees was Adjunct Associate Professor of Economics at New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service from September 2012 until July 2013.[18][19] She was previously Assistant Professor of Economics at Tilburg University in Tilburg and a researcher at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam.[when?]

Personal life

In July 2013, Mees was arrested in New York on charges of stalking her former lover, the chief economist of Citigroup, Willem Buiter.[20] In March 2014, all charges against Mees were set for dismissal if Mees would comply with two conditions.[21]

Mees lives in Brooklyn, New York.[22]
