Helen Lao believes that ‘anything is possible,’ and has built a brand to prove it.

As CEO and Founder at ClearPath Solutions, a boutique executive search firm, she leads a dynamic team across the US in matchmaking different companies with top leaders within their industry.

For Helen, being a leader means giving her team the autonomy and flexibility to explore what they’re capable of, while offering guidance and love at every turn. “I started my business with a vision, zero clients, a phone line, three children, and a fourth on the way,” says Lao. “And while I knew it would not be easy, I stepped into my passion fearlessly.” It has proven to create endless possibilities and opportunities for those she cares for most.

ClearPath has become one of the fastest growing executive search firms in the country, with clients ranging from emerging brands to Fortune 100 companies. Helen attributes the success of her business to her talented team and a culture that rewards hard work, celebrates scrappiness, provides support, and values authentic relationships.
