What They Say
I'm grateful to have worked with fantastic people throughout the years. I have high expectations for myself and my peers, giving my best to everyone and expecting the same in return. Kind words are often shared between my peers and myself.
Here are a few things my leaders, team members, colleagues and partners have said:
“I will start with this – Helen is an amazing marketer, person, strategist, colleague, tactician, friend, executor, and mentor – those are the things that are easy to see. What is harder to see on the surface is how hard she works and how much she cares about the success of the business ... I relied on her judgement, her discipline, her foresight, her counsel and the results she created. Helen is primed for a long career doing very big things and I can't wait to see where her drive and intelligence leads her.”
Matt Mullen, CEO, White Cup (2024)
“Helen is one of the savviest and most effective marketing professionals I have worked with in my career/experience in both distribution and technology ... She is results-driven and relationship-focused. A great person to have on your team!”

Let's not forget my Itchy Pineapple blog readers. I'm humbled by their words:
“I so appreciate how honest you are in this blog … I salute your courage and willingness to share your journey so openly. You say things in your blog I so often feel. For so long I couldn’t even stand saying the word “eczema” but in reading your blog, as well as attending a conference or two virtually of the NEA I am better about that and feel more part of a community.”

“I am just so endlessly grateful to have stumbled upon your website. It is so validating and a big sigh of relief to see someone else with very similar skin and to not feel like i am making it up. Thank you so so much.”
