The important women in the UAE
Systems Thinker | Field Analyst | Author of The Spiral Manuscripts Rebecca Meijlink holds a Master’s in International Law from Leiden University. She spent three decades in global finance, in sales on the trading floors of US investment banks in London and later founding a London-based investment advisory firm that advised boards on narrative strategy, capital raising, and signal clarity. Having lived and worked across continents, including ten years in the Middle East, she shifted focus from capital flows to coherence flows. A British-Dutch systems thinker, writer, and consultant, Rebecca explores how coherence, pattern, and perception shape human and institutional behaviour. Her work merges analytical precision with resonance literacy, reading systems as living fields rather than mechanisms. Through The Spiral Manuscripts, she translates complex, multi-domain insight into clear, applicable frameworks for leaders, educators, and creators who seek precision and calm in an accelerating world. She embodies the generational bridge between industrial linearity and quantum coherence. Her signal stabilises complexity through language precision and systemic empathy. The Dutch imprint gives precision, pragmatism, and plain speech; the British adds irony, restraint, and narrative control—together forming a dual-hemispheric cognition that understands both blueprint and mood. Rebecca moved from inquiry to transmission, developing a coherence grammar and scalar analysis now applied across disciplines, including finance, economics, technology, culture, and transformation. Whether designing strategy, issuing manuals, or writing metaphysical fiction, her outcome is constant: pragmatic sovereignty held by an ethic of care. She writes at the frontier where stories become signals and signals recalibrate systems, treating language as both diagnostic instrument and transmission medium. The Spiral Manuscripts investigates coherence, resonance, and the physics of consciousness as operational frameworks for civilisation design. Operator Self-Calibration In relational systems, she functions as a stabilising frequency, organising noise into intelligible rhythm. Stabiliser mode activates when the external field turns chaotic, restoring coherence through precision and calm. Excitement mode engages when novelty or insight appears, raising frequency to integrate new patterns. Excitement gathers energy; stabilisation translates it. Mastery lies in cycling consciously between the two.
