At the end of November, Anna Helsén joins JKL in Stockholm. She comes directly from the Prime Minister’s Office where she has been the former prime minister Göran Persson’s press secretary and coordinator for the government offices’ media contacts.

“Anna Helsén comes to JKL with a strong and unique contact network in the media and government offices. She has a long and successful experience of what is probably the country’s toughest media environment; around the prime minister. She will reinforce JKL’s competence in the areas of media knowledge, crisis management and public affairs – and we look forward to working together with her,” says Anders Lindberg, partner in the JKL Group.

“It feels right to start working as a consultant at JKL, a company with a long history of working strategically and seriously with communication. It is a new exciting challenge to be able to use my experience from journalism and politics as an advisor to JKL’s clients,” says Anna Helsén.

Anna Helsén has worked in the Government offices and Prime Minister’s Office since 2000 and was previously a political journalist at TT, the Swedish News Agency. She has also worked as a journalist at Expressen.
