Our Executive Team
Helen Stefan Moreau is the President and Owner of The Midtown Group, Washington, D.C.’s premiere professional career consulting firm ranked by the Washington Business Journal as the fourth best temporary local staffing agency in terms of number of placements.
Moreau opened the company in 1989, just months after beginning her career in the staffing industry. Upon graduating with a degree in Public Relations and Business from the University of Florida in 1988, she inquired at a staffing firm about a full-time position in public relations. The firm recruited Moreau not for PR, but to work at the firm itself. Shortly thereafter, Moreau came to the conclusion she either was going to work for another agency or start her own staffing business with a partner. She chose to start the new business and began with just a card table as her desk, a few telephones, and a fax machine. Moreau quickly bought out her partner and grew the business to the multi-million dollar success that it is today.
Moreau is an active supporter of the Washington, D.C. community. In 2008, she was accepted as a member of the prestigious Young Presidents’ Organization and currently serves on the Executive Team as the Chapter’s Membership Chair . In 2007 and 2008, Rachael’s Women’s Center, which assists local women as they step-up and out of homelessness, awarded Moreau with Board Member of the Year for her active participation on the board of directors. In addition, she is a member of the Zonta Club of Washington, D.C.
