Bridging the gap between product and business. As an entrepreneur myself, I understand your business goals and know how to achieve them effectively.

Meet some of the organizations I worked with

Brigad Ilek Carbo Sofinnova Partners ECV

"Having such a senior profile in the team is a game changer.

Helene is autonomous AND responsible, ready to tak hard decisions with the right mix of information and uncertainty.

She has great lateral leadership with the team & the stakeholders with the right level of drive and diplomacy. She inspires the other product teams.

Cherry on the cake: her commitment in making better, responsible products is rare in the product world and can add a unfair advantage to any product business."

"Helene is an absolute powerhouse as a Product Manager. When she takes on a project, she doesn’t just follow the roadmap, she takes it to the next level. She knows how to analyze, understand user needs, and most importantly, she gets straight to the point. No unnecessary jargon, just pure efficiency.

She has this crucial ability to bring teams together, align everyone, and always find concrete solutions. When there’s a problem, she tackles it head-on, without wasting time. Design sprints, A/B testing, data – she’s got it all covered.

Highly recommended."

What sets her apart is her strong focus on impact and her great pragmatism when working on any initiative (test & learn). She consistently challenges the status quo, pushing for innovative solutions that drive real value for users.

So grateful I had the opportunity as a product designer to work side-by-side with Helene!"
