Today, on the Take on Board podcast, I’m speaking with Helen Hu about how the skills she learned at Toastmasters have helped her build her board portfolio career.
Helen is an emerging company director pursuing a board portfolio career. Twenty years ago, with $1,000 in her pocket, she arrived at Sydney Airport with a small suitcase and a big dream. She spent the first 10 years in Australia getting her master’s degree in accounting, became a chartered accountant, and climbed the corporate ladder from a bookkeeper to the CFO and company secretary of a national agriculture company.
She spent another 10 years enhancing her governance skills and experience, becoming a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia. During this time, she consolidated her financial, investment and risk management skills and experience. She’s now pursuing a full-time board portfolio career. Helen currently serves on the boards of two not-for-profit organizations, where she chairs the finance, audit, Risk and Compliance committees. She’s also a dedicated member of Toastmasters clubs and a mentor in the Chartered Accountant’s program.
