Helena Goto

Helena is the founder of Goto Solutions. Since 2013, she has been successfully running her own consulting business, working with, and advising clients from both public and private companies in conflict, culture, and communication. As an Adjunct Professor at USC’s Sol Price School of Public Policy, working from home throughout the pandemic allowed her to hone her virtual teaching and facilitation skills.

Coming out of homeschooling her three boys through the pandemic, Helena moved into a Senior HR Business partner role at a finance company. Focused on employee relations and performance management, Helena loved her work until she encountered bullying and ironically, a toxic leader.

She moved on to write a book, empowering parents going through the breakdown of their marriage to live honestly whilst keeping the family intact, and has now returned to her consulting work.

Helena’s background gives her the combined benefit of understanding how a successful business functions, as well as the human dynamics that motivate people to work well together. Helena’s work focuses closely on how an individual’s needs impact both business decisions and employee relationships.

Helena graduated from The University of Southern California in 2010 with an MBA and from Pepperdine University’s Straus Institute in 2011 with a Masters in Dispute Resolution. Originally from New Zealand, Helena now lives in Los Angeles with her three sons, ex-husband, and two rescue dogs.
