Hélène Leray

Hélène has served under various roles — digital marketing leader, agency partner, cofounder, etc. — for both startups and major brands in Paris for over 15 years. Her expertise includes social media influence and campaign strategy (B2C, B2B), brand content strategy, personal branding, e-reputation, employee, and leader advocacy.

Most recently, Hélène has been partner and director of #LesFrondeuses, a digital marketing service offered by Marie-Antoinette, a premium full-service communications agency. She has worked with dozens of French and international clients in the food, lifestyle, travel, and retail sectors.
