Every team needs someone who acts like the glue within the team and between its members, who creates the right atmosphere in the office, who’s there when you need her. That’s Tilly! Apart from that, she also heads the administration of the foundation, ever since she was appointed in 2003. Back in those days, the office was more like a site trailer, ‘temporary office’ they said. She witnessed the transition from a small organization in those days, to an established international bear NGO it is today. Tilly is most at home, at home.

“A good atmosphere is most important for me, to work with each other in a fun team, all for the bears!”

In her free time she is at home or visiting family. Grand children are everything, and of course shopping.
