Under my leadership, Henry’s, the largest independent digital imaging retailer in Canada, transformed from a traditional electronics retailer into one that encourages and builds on the customers’ creativity and passion. This evolution included delivering the best specialty retail experience across Canada, driving innovation to meet the future needs of customers, expanding the brand to connect with the rapidly growing segment of content creators, including podcasters, YouTubers and other digital storytellers, and re-inventing the digital imaging category to take the business to greater heights.As a people-first leader, it’s important to me that my role extends well past driving the bottom line. Corporate social responsibility and employee well-being are critically important to me, business success and as members of the community. I am an advocate for mental health and have been recognized for my work to reduce the stigma associated with mental health in the business community. In 2022, I was a recipient of the Top 25 Women of Influence award. I speak regularly on such topics as mental health, leadership, family business governance, and retail. Podcasts & radio engagements include CBC Radio, RBC & Tony Chapman’s Chatter that Matters, LinkedIn’s The Anxious Achiever, The Voice of Retail, Dead Pixel Society and Sticky Branding. I have given keynote presentations at the Retail Council of Canada's STORE Conference, eTail Canada, CAMH, Carleton University, University of Toronto and at various YPO events. I have also been featured in the Financial Post Magazine, The Globe & Mail, Retail Insider, Ivy Business Journal and CanadianSME Business Magazine I’m an active board member and volunteer, and I am interested in new board roles. I currently sit on the Board of YPO Toronto and Abilities to Work and am an active member of Young Presidents Organization (YPO).
