She is the co-author of WSJ Bestselling book “How The Future Works: Leading Flexible Teams to Do the Best Work of Their Lives”. Helen brings a unique perspective to how we'll operate in the future by bridging the human component of flexible working alongside the technology component of artificial intelligence creating even greater opportunities to "think & work differently" in a way that benefits more people.
She believes in closing the gender technology gap - starting with women at work - to create a future of work that looks and feels fundamentally different for her two kids and the women she mentors. We can & should do better.
