Helene von Reis
Helene von Reis is a CEO who has led and developed large organisations within IKEA across some of the world’s most complex markets. She speaks on trust, courage, curiosity, and what it truly takes to lead across languages and cultures.
IQ + EQ + CQ — the leadership of tomorrow
In a borderless, interconnected world, leaders face new demands to understand and guide multicultural teams. This talk explores what drives our decisions and how our cultural background shapes everything we think and do.
Leadership from west to east
A “yes” in Europe and the US means only “I hear you” in Asia. Values, business acumen, communication and relationships are not universal they are shaped by the norms that govern society. Helene shares theory and personal insight from leading in Sweden, the US, China and Japan.
Leading without language
How do you lead and develop a large organisation when you don’t speak the local language? What are the keys to building trust and community regardless of market? An inspiring talk on the team’s innate power to move toward the same goal even when language is a barrier, or perhaps precisely because of it.
Japan 2.0 — a new era for Japanese women
With its first female prime minister and a society that must reconsider its foundations to survive, Japan faces profound choices. As one of very few female CEOs in Japan, Helene shares her insights and experiences of what it means to be a woman in one of the world’s most gender-unequal countries.
Helene also leads workshops on leading multicultural teams and building strength through diverse perspectives and cultures.
