Our guest today is someone who knows how important it is to be constantly leveling up and reskilling. She even launched a global challenge to help support the restaurant industry during the pandemic, because she knows we need new, innovative solutions for the biggest challenges facing our workforce today.

ClearPath is an executive search firm that matches talent within the industry. In her role, Helen leads a dynamic team across the country in matchmaking different growth brands with top leaders within the industry.
