No obstacle exists for Helene, instead she asks “How might we…?” With over 25 years of experience in the food service industry, Helene has done it all. Her vision is unparalleled and she challenges us to be leaders in re-imagining the cafe experience. Helene is proud to say #FoodDreams keep her up at night.
She’s a chef, she’s a visionary and she shines the light on where we’re headed. When she visits a kitchen to talk with our chefs, they’re ready to show her their latest creations and talk chef-to-chef on what’s next. And she’ll always try the soup.
