I understand people management and leadership development. Over my career, I have worked in all aspects of human resources management. In my former role as Chief Human Resources Officer, I have worked directly with countless leaders – particularly at the Vice President, Senior Vice President and CEO level – supporting their development as leaders of people, and of organizations.

I understand the complexities of running an organization. In my Executive career, I have held three different C-suite positions. I have had direct executive-level accountability for numerous key business functions, including: product development; business development; customer service; business partnerships; sustainable business (human rights, environmental & governance matters); marketing; legal services; communications; stakeholder relations, and human resources. I have acted as Corporate Secretary for numerous Boards of Directors – both in the private and public sectors.

I have a unique mix of education and training. I have been educated at Queen’s, Columbia and Cambridge, where I have studied law, leadership and business sustainability. I have now added certified coach and adult educator to my credentials. I am an experienced coach, facilitator and public speaker.
