She helps clients recognize and adapt to the challenges and disruption around the next bend and has advised senior executives and boards on strategic planning, operations, and talent.

Helping executives transform their organizations means taking the long view, choosing your battles wisely. It also means being a good listener, hearing what they are not saying, as much as what they are saying
A turning point in Helen鈥檚 life was the birth of her children, which made her focus on building a more sustainable, balanced, and interesting career. She decided to focus on health and life sciences, where she helps C-suite executives across the healthcare ecosystem transform their businesses to become more consumer-centric and oriented around value-based care.
Helen believes, for clients who are leaders in the industries they serve, turning the ship towards a different destination requires patience, persistence, consistency, and deep reservoirs of empathy to help them see why a particular change makes sense.
