For the past two decades, Helen has been leading corporate philanthropy for visionary companies and partnering with many inspiring community organisations. In collaboration with these groups, she has designed programmes and campaigns that use evidence-based approaches to address critical social issues with the intention of driving social impact. Helen loves connecting the dots to translate knowledge into action inside a company and beyond its borders, into the community and ultimately, to make a positive difference in a person's life.
Currently, Helen is Head of Employee and Community Giving at BMO Financial Group where she leads a great group of people who are working to bring BMO's Purpose to life through their community work. She also recently completed her MBA at Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.
