meet the founder

Chicago-born Brittany Jelinek made her mark in the culinary world AS co-founder of a luxury catering company, before founding The Helm, where she helps entrepreneurs grow bigger or breathe easier.

after Graduating from the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, Brittany began her career as a young chef breaking into the male-dominated restaurant industry. At just 22 years old, she co-founded her business, growing it over 12 years before selling it in 2020. as a small business owner, Brittany wore every entrepreneurial hat:  from creating proformas and investment decks to developing employee handbooks and deal-closing look books, running payroll, driving sales incentives, crafting exit strategies, hiring and firing, to executing thousands of high-profile events in between, WHILE facing every variable that comes with offsite event territory. (Do you really need power to serve 400 people dinner in 16 minutes or less!?)

At The Helm, Brittany leverages her diverse experiences to offer directionally productive business consulting. her clients offload executive-level decision-making and strategy, focusing on their passion while she handles the rest. Whether it’s expanding a business or preparing for an exit, Brittany provides tailored strategies, fostering creativity- ensuring each decision propels her clients toward their goals.

Brittany's approach is proactive, innovative, and deeply collaborative. She believes in making the journey of entrepreneurship less lonely and more fulfilling, helping clients find their road, walk it confidently, and ultimately enjoy the success they've built
