A few years ago, I attended an interview for a job at the Monocle Café . Helen was one of the company’s board members and interviewer at Monocle’s HQ. When leaving the office, I wasn’t sure whether I got this job but had a feeling that we may become friends.
Helen is such character. And her life could be a screenplay for a good movie. (I’m NOT kidding). As Executive Assistant to Monocle’s chairman, to watch her calmly coordinating an international brand and being supportive to the team was a great lesson to learn.

Helen and myself are no longer working for Monocle, but I have a pleasure of meeting her occasionally and have an epic time together. That’s what meeting friends are for, right?
