- I was attracted to the pulse and all the endless possibilities Shanghai was offering during my first years here. When I started to understand the language and Chinese culture a whole new world opened up to me that keeps inspiring me even today.
Helena has worked within many industries in China such as logistics, air purification, loyalty programs and has spent the most recent years with a big focus on e-commerce and digital marketing for consumer brands.
