Bio
Luke Irwin
Helen and I worked closely at Pickwick on a HRIS/HCM implementation project. She is one of the most engaging and easy to work with HR leaders that I have worked across many organisations. She had a very systematic while still being incredibly people centric approach to designing and implementing the processes, tools and systems that were needed to drive the businesses processes forwards to aid in the next stage of growth. I would readily work with Helen again on any project and she would make an excellent Senior HR Leader in any business that would be lucky enough to recruit her.

Helen was my HR manager at Bio-Strategy. In my dealings with Helen (during my recruitment process as well being an employee), I’ve found her to be personable, approachable, professional and a wealth of knowledge. Despite her being based in Brisbane while I was based in Melbourne, she was always quick to answer my questions. I was saddened to see her depart the company as a result of Bio-Strategy Management’s decision to the HR role to the Melbourne office and wish her well in her future endeavours.
