Who is Helen Appleby?

​I am an Executive Coach based in New York.

My clients are high potential women, CEOs and senior leaders around the world
and I help them to design their careers and deliver powerful results. I understand firsthand,
“The loneliness of leadership” and I tell the truth to those who often struggle to find anyone that will.
​I help leaders with career planning, career purpose, authentic leadership, stakeholder
​management and cross-cultural issues.

Prior to being an executive coach, I was a VP and Global business leader for GlaxoSmithKline where I led the $1bn Respiratory Health business in Consumer Healthcare and the Rx to OTC switch of Flonase Allergy Relief.
My career has spanned 6 countries and I have lived and worked in Canada, UK, Cyprus, Dubai, Malaysia and the USA.

I’m the mum to two gorgeous children who continue to be gorgeous even though they’re teenagers. I’m an excellent shopper, an average yogi and a terrible cook.
