“When I first met Kamilia I asked her to publish a professional magazine, with which she was unfamiliar, in record time. This meant editing, writing, interviewing, compiling the magazine, managing, and debating the contents with me. That is a fair challenge for a young editor. I had interviewed many candidates and she struck me as by far the strongest: I was worried that she was younger than other candidates but she clearly had potential.
It went well. I suspect she liked the challenge. She is intelligent and independent. With an innovative mind, and eclectic interests, she is able to edit and write on a variety of topics. She learnt quickly.
Kamilia worked for me from July 2012 to about October 2013 managing the professional magazine. Much of her time was spent copy editing and this has been a good experience for her. Editing is not always glamorous. There are deadlines to be met; matters to be proofed’ last-minute corrections to finesse. She contributed articles too. She a flair for headlines – I remember chuckling over some. She had to manage relationships within the professional body and this required delicacy; often patience. Deadlines were always met; and she worked hard. She still writes as her cv demonstrates and for strong publications.
As I have said to her many times I think she will do very well. I should add that she is a genuinely nice person.
I’m very pleased to hear that she is still writing. She should be. I wish her the very best indeed. It is a pleasure to write a reference for her.”

“I highly recommend Kamilia. She is a very talented writer, with remarkable research skills and a profound knowledge of the topics she writes about. Kamilia is also a skilled interviewer, with a wide network of contacts. What is more, she is very enthusiastic about her work, as well as highly professional, reliable and efficient. I also greatly appreciate her genuine and profound commitment to intercultural dialogue and her deep understanding of geopolitics and cultural issues. I am sure that Kamilia has the skill set, experience and motivation to bring to new performance levels any project she is in charge of.”

“Kamilia has produced two great articles for CNN Travel to date. She is a strong writer with great research qualities and a pleasure to work with.”
James DurstonSenior Producer, CNN Travel
“Kamilia worked for me at Thomson Reuters Hong Kong as editor of the niche Human Resources magazine, a key journal used extensively by human resource practitioners as a guide and indicator of market trends.
For over a year now, Kamilia has displayed a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm towards not just Human Resources, but also writing and editing legal, economic and leisure material for other parts of the business.
She provides drive and a different perspective, which derive perhaps from living in and being exposed to different cultures from a young age. She is also a fast learner who is prepared to tackle difficult topics outside her comfort zone, no matter the number of hours that takes her to do so.
In addition, her bubbly and pleasant personality makes her a joy to be around with in the office, as other colleagues would readily attest to. I would highly recommend her to other employers and I have absolutely no doubt that she will work hard and excel in whatever she does.”
Vince ChongManaging Editor, Thomson Reuters
“Kamilia is a consummate editor for Thomson Reuters and someone you should definitely get to know. I had the pleasure of working with her over the past few months on a featured HR delegation article for HR Magazine Hong Kong (November 2013 issue).
Kamilia was very thorough, creative and easy to work with in every aspect, from reviewing my first draft, providing her comments and suggestions for revisions, keeping me on track with the central theme, editing, design layout and finalizing the article for publication.
Her editing and publishing insights and specific application made my ‘article of ideas’ come to life and for that I am most appreciative. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to work with Kamilia. Even though we were literally continents apart, it felt like she was in the office right next door. A great experience for anyone and one that I hope to engage in again soon based on future HR topics she needs written.
Thanks again Kamilia for the opportunity to contribute to your magazine and for your wonderful assistance!”

“Kamilia is a hard worker and has a great curiosity about the world, including politics, business and the changing dynamics in society. She brings a unique perspective from her experience in the Middle East and with more experience in Asia will be well positioned to comment on the important relationship between the regions as it develops. Kamilia understands deadlines and has a good ability to synthesize information quickly and produce material on a wide variety of subjects.”
Eric StrysonDirector, Global Institute for Tomorrow
“During her time at the Hong Kong-based think tank GIFT, Kamilia Lahrichi has been a hardworking, productive and dynamic addition to the team. She has succeeded in delivering communications material and meeting tight deadlines. Kamilia Lahrichi has demonstrated outstanding communications and project management skills. She knows very well how to write quickly and concisely, edit efficiently and translate complex ideas (e.g. about global capitalism) into articles and reports accessible for the public.
Kamilia Lahrichi also has excellent analytical skills as she has displayed sound judgment to analyse the main socio-economic developments in Asia. In addition, Kamilia Lahrichi (with her Moroccan-French background) has proved to be a great addition to our multi-cultural team.”
Nina JatanaHead of Communications, Global Institute For Tomorrow
“Kamilia volunteered for a project to improve the metadata of images of our corporate image library. In little time, Kamilia managed to keyword some 700 images accurately, thereby improving the searchability of our library assets.”
Pere Mora Romà Web Publishing Manager, UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS)
“Kamilia Lahrichi a travaillé en tant que stagiaire (en vue d’une embauche) pour le service international de L’Orient-Le jour pendant deux mois. Elle nous a donné entière satisfaction. Kamilia Lahrichi apprend vite, est au fait de l’actualité internationale, sait synthétiser et hiérarchiser l’information, et s’est montrée capable de nous préparer un dossier complet sur un sujet d’actualité, le Soudan, en choisissant des angles intéressants et en maîtrisant aussi bien l’analyse que le reportage. Nous n’avons pas embauché Kamilia Lahrichi car le poste a été pourvu à travers une promotion en interne. Si cette promotion interne (prioritaire) n’avait pas eu lieu, Kamilia Lahrichi aurait sans aucun doute rejoint notre équipe.”
Antoine AjouryResponsable du service international, L’Orient-Le Jour
“Kamilia Lahrichi was an excellent addition to our staff during the summer of 2009. She is very knowledgeable about Middle Eastern affairs, a good writer and an excellent team worker, who is both efficient and personable.”
Hillel SchenkerCo-Editor in Chief, Palestine-Israel Journal
“Kamilia was a reliable and hard-working intern in the Spring 2008. I counted on her a great deal and was consistently impressed by her work product. She was able to seamlessly draw from her diverse professional background where relevant to policy issues in our office. I would highly recommend her.”
