Former C.E.O. at Haltech Regional Innovation Centre

or me, it's about developing and diversifying the talent in the technology industry. I strive to bring my lessons learned, skills, knowledge, and network from working with innovative organizations to benefit others as they grow their careers and companies. I have a passion for people, achieving results and having some fun along the way. Senior level experience in Sales, Professional Services, Change Management, Communications and Operations have enabled me to gain perspective and put theory into practice.

Mistakes and successes equally have taught me the importance of partnership, trust, and communication. What, when, how best to communicate so people are interested, engaged and involved. I believe in sharing good news often, breaking bad news early and in being consistent. In all of my work, I am most passionate about "leading with yes", the potential of teams and individuals and in the power of partnerships.

The last few years of working with women in senior leadership roles and women flexing their entrepreneurial muscles have me inspired by the power of different styles to make positive changes and I love being a part of that momentum.
