She has built a solid reputation around her passion for helping entrepreneurs and business leaders succeed in their respective industries. As a TEC Canada Chair, Helen shares her tools, knowledge, and expertise to support the growth of these businesses.

With a successful track record of leading businesses across two continents and managing operations in diverse areas such as distribution, retail, import/export, service, training, and coaching, Helen has a wealth of experience in building successful companies from the ground up. One of her proudest accomplishments is being a trailblazer in entrepreneurship, particularly as a female business owner during a time when such representation was scarce. Her unwavering determination and entrepreneurial spirit have led her to take unknown products to market bringing them to the forefront, including in 2016 expanding the presence of Contour Wrap and Eurowave to over 700 locations. Her efforts also led to significant exposure at high-profile events such as the Oscars, Emmys, and Canadian Music Awards, as well as through media coverage in TV and publications.

Inspired by her mother, a fellow entrepreneur, Helen learned early on the power and fulfillment of overseeing one’s own destiny. With a supportive family behind her, she continued to pursue her passion and is excited to see that her children and grandson also dream of becoming entrepreneurs.

Helen is eager to leverage her extensive entrepreneurial expertise and industry knowledge to benefit the Vancouver area.
