Helen Lee is cofounder of the Best Christian Workplaces Institute (BCWI). Helen created the concept of a study that would highlight the Best Christian Places to Work, which was endorsed by Christianity Today (CT) magazine and which ultimately resulted in the survey which was the basis of its April, 2003 cover story. The pioneer study included 85 Christian organizations representing more than 15,000 full time workers.

In addition to cofounding the Best Christian Workplaces Institute, Helen has been involved in or launched a number of start-up ventures and projects. Most recently, she served as the publisher of re:generation Quarterly (RQ) magazine, widely considered the leading voice of up-and-coming Christian leaders. She was also the founder and president of SmartBride.com, an Internet wedding service providing invaluable information and resources to brides getting married in the New England area.

A former editor at CT, Helen has written or edited numerous articles in CT, RQ, and other Christian and non-Christian media publications. She also served as the executive editor of the Babson Entrepreneurial Review during her time at the F.W. Olin Graduate School for Business at Babson College (M.A.). Before her forays into journalism and business, she spent several years in campus ministries with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and Wheaton College (IL). She has spoken at numerous college fellowship groups, including Harvard Business School Christian Fellowship, Northwestern University Asian American Fellowship, and Williams College Christian Fellowship.

Helen received her B.A. from Williams College, an M.A. from Wheaton College, and an M.B.A. from Babson College.
