About

I bring my unique set of skills to my work at Invest Ottawa and work collaboratively with dynamic founders, CEOs and HR leaders as Venture Talent Manager.Over the years, I have successfully worked with groups and individuals to help them achieve their goals in a diverse range of environments. For 5 years, I managed the recruitment projects for outstanding clients across Canada and the US. I spent over ten years working to build our near 100-year-old family business and during that time, I learned the true value of working with talented individuals and strong teams. Meanwhile, as a former World Cup and Olympic alpine ski coach, I know the importance of delivering results.
