Helena Risager
I help organisations hire well, assess honestly, and develop the leaders they already have.
Based in Copenhagen · Working nationally and internationally
People are not resources.
They are the reason.
Recruitment Partnership
When your People & Culture team is at capacity, or when a critical hire demands more rigour than the process currently allows, I step in as an embedded partner. I work alongside your team from the inside — and where needed, I look at the full process and identify where it breaks down.
Executive Coaching
For the leader who wants to perform with more clarity and less noise. Whether you are navigating a new role, leading through complexity, or questioning whether you are on the right path — we work with self-insight, direction and the specific demands of leading people and business.
Both start from the same place: a clear eye, an honest conversation and a genuine belief that when people are seen clearly and placed well — quality rises and real development becomes possible.
- We look at the full process — from role definition to final decision
- In need of capacity? I step in as your recruitment partner
- The why, when, and how of assessments, cases, and profiling tools
- Structured interviews and decision frameworks your team can actually use
- Clarity and consistency — whether you’re hiring one or ten people
- 6–10 sessions with a defined arc and clear milestones
- Hogan-based assessment as objective foundation
- Direct, evidence-based — not open-ended conversations
- For leaders navigating transitions, complexity, or a shift in direction
- First conversation is always free
Coaching has been a brilliant solution, and has enabled me to speed up and be more concrete. I view Helena as my secondary brain — that really helps me to crack any problem I’ve brought to the sessions with her. If you are looking for a coach that can help you solve your problems yourself better and faster, then I can wholeheartedly recommend Helena. She is a joy to work with.
