As an executive leader in both private and publicly held companies, my expertise lies in driving top-line growth and profit through innovative sales solutions to provide stellar customer service all the while ensuring operations are focused on efficiently managing the bottom line. I excel in creating marketing campaigns that effectively reach and resonate with the right audience. After years in a corporate career spanning sales, marketing and operations, I became an entrepreneur and business owner by co-founding Dig It Apparel® Inc., which struck a deal with Kevin O'Leary of CBC's Dragons' Den and NBC's Shark Tank fame. I've learned from the best, the "pitcher" became the "investor," and grew the Dig It expansion across North America.I am excited to be nominated for the 2024 RBC Women Of Influence Award and past awards include the 2019 Top Female Professional Award, and the 2020 Entrepreneur of the Decade from the US-based International Association of Top Professionals. In 2019, I joined Oprah Winfrey and other outstanding influencers as a contributing author of America’s Leading Ladies. As a keynote speaker and best-selling author, sharing events with icons like Tony Robbins, my narrative weaves resilience and strategic growth. The journey from co-founding Dig It Apparel® to scaling it across 7000 stores exemplifies my entrepreneurial acumen. Philanthropy shapes my mission, and created the Beyond Growth Scholarship Fund underscoring a commitment to community upliftment. It enables one deserving youth to attend University each year.Feel free to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you!
