About me
I’m a classically trained CPG marketer turned entrepreneur, speaker and author - with expertise in creativity, innovation, brand management, marketing strategy, and energizing business teams.
In 2015, I co-founded The Idea Suite, an innovation agency recognized by Report on Business as one of Canada’s Top Growing Businesses (2024, 2020, 2019) and included on the Adweek 100: Fastest Growing Agencies list (2024, 2020). In 2021, I co-founded a second company, Energy for Growth, with a mission to energize teams.
Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, I held brand management leadership roles at Procter & Gamble in North America and Switzerland. In 2017 I was recognized in the inaugural P&G Alumni Network’s Global ‘40 under 40’ list. I was a 2022 delegate for The Governor General’s Canadian Leadership Conference.
I’m a three-time bestselling author. My innovation book for kids launched last Fall, and my next book on the topic of innovation launches in Spring 2026. I love to speak and write on the topics of innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and culture.
I’m passionately committed to the growth of young professional women through volunteer mentoring, speaking and capability-building engagements. I’m a proud sponsor of Forward Together and 12-time host of its annual conference for high-potential professional women.
