"Helena is the best of the best for a professional, dignified and incredibly competent person. Even in a supposed retirement community, she takes on the chief roles, such at Chair of the board for the charitable Folk Art Market, an event that makes it possible for some 150 plus artisans from around the world to sell as much of their goods in one weekend as they sell otherwise the rest of the year. I so respect Helena and would become much closer to her if I could justify stealing time from her she uses so well doing so much good."

"I had the honor of being managed directly by Helena over five years, when we both served at the World Bank. She distinguished herself as being a fierce advocate for her team and our work, especially when some of us pushed the proverbial envelope! Helena is wise, patient and forward-looking. She is a natural and tested leader."
