Versatile Writer & Editor

I worked with Teresa van den Barselaar for 5 years as my chief editor for my newsletter, books, economic research and marketing materials. 

I have to deal with a wide range of complex and technical issues from economics to demographics globally, and she had no problem learning and keeping up with my research. I have not had someone as capable of doing that in the past 4 decades of my career as a global economic forecaster and CEO of several high-growth small companies. 

She is very adept at taking complex issues and making them understandable with a very pleasing touch and cadence for such normally more boring and technical material. 

Hence, I would give her the highest recommendation of all the people I have worked for in the editorial and public communication arenas.

Having worked closely with Teresa for many years, I can confidently say she is a highly-skilled writer, editor, and content strategist. 

Whether she's producing content herself or leading a team through the entire ideation-to-publishing process, Teresa's knack for organization, proactive communication, attention to detail and tenacity for high-quality content make her a truly well-rounded and valuable leader.

Working with Teresa as my editor made me shine as a “guru” for one of the largest financial publishers in the business.

She is highly competent, a great communicator, and works well under the pressure of tight deadlines.

Teresa will continue to be a valued asset for any organization that utilizes her skills.

I met Teresa more than a decade ago when Harry Dent and I first created an online newsletter offering with a third party. Teresa had worked at other entities and was moving stateside to take responsibility for our new joint venture. 

Over the next nine years, I had the pleasure of working with Teresa in a number of roles, from management to editorial. She knows how to run business lines from top to bottom, keeping everyone in the loop and on point. 

Those are great attributes, but Teresa has a characteristic that makes her more valuable as a team member – she’s a “matcher.” 

When confronted with problems, many people outline why something won’t work, when the real value is finding what will work. This could be anything from new products or systems to staffing. 

Associates and managers who understand an issue then work to find solutions save time for business owners and those around them. That’s a skill that cannot be taught.  

I’d highly recommend Teresa for employment and, if we were expanding, I’d hire her myself.

Teresa offers a rare combination of skills for a financial editor.  

She understands the dynamics of well-established businesses and also the excitement of how startup companies need to evolve.  

She can both dissect a quarterly statement and understand a fundraising round.  

Most importantly, Teresa knows how to develop a message with clear voice and positioning, creating compelling content readers will love.

Former Publisher, Money Map Press

Teresa is a joy to work with. She is professional, poignant, and on point. 

We have worked together on several initiatives, and she has always been willing to learn and try new things. 

She is a great communicator and an overall wonderful person. 

She is also always open to new ideas, which helps us to come up with innovative solutions.
