Ni Hao everyone! After months of waiting, we’re thrilled to finally introduce Helen Yang in today’s episode of In the Suite! Helen Yang is an inspirational and giving person. She’s a CFA by designation, a FinTech veteran for 20 years, a co-winner of the Harry Markowitz Award, an involved mother of two children, and an active board member of Asian Americans for Equal Rights.
She started her career at Thomson Reuters and Charles River Development. Helen was dissatisfied with the ‘cookie-cutter’ service she was receiving from financial advisors. She realized that financial advisers didn’t have the right tools to deliver the kind of personalized insights and services she was looking for. With the mission to fill this gap, Helen founded Andes Wealth Technologies.
For the second year in a row, Andes Wealth Technologies was selected as a finalist in the 2021 WealthManagement.com Industry Award in the Risk Tolerance and Client Profiling category, and for the first time, a finalist in the Portfolio Analytics category.
Helen is inspired by acts of kindness around her and volunteers extensively to give back to society. She serves on the board of Lexington Lions Club and Asian Americans for Equal Rights.
In this episode, you will learn about her awe-inspiring growth journey and how she balances her personal and professional life. We also cover powerful and educational topics, including the identity and challenges experienced by Asian Americans and what we can do to combat hate. Helen also shares knowledge on why risk tolerance is essential and shares relevant stories.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
