Just six months after arriving, she boldly launched English Speaking Networking (aka ESN). Today, Helena runs three thriving local networking groups with 75 members and hosts the highly anticipated annual Anglo Mega Networking Event. She also partners with major corporates including Monday.com, PWC, and Rothschild to create high-level, niche community networking experiences.
