Betsy LeBlanc, Senior Sales Manager, WGBH Intl., Boston

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Helle for several years through TV2’s relationship with WGBH and FRONTLINE. It was during one of our recent meetings at MIP when I was most impressed by her: Helle told me she was going to Iraq. This was at a time during the US-Iraq war when insurgent activity was very high and the guaranteed safety of journalists was at its lowest – yet Helle was quite proud when she told me the news and I detected a gleam in her eye. In my humble opinion, it is a remarkable professional gift to have the drive to go from editing room to war front and, upon return, still seek out challenge and adventure in your career. Makes one think that there is very little someone with this drive cannot accomplish.”
