I help founders and leaders tackle the complexities of launching new products: finding product-market fit, using resources efficiently, sourcing skills, and standing out from competitors.
Mentoring to New Tech Entrepreneurs/Leaders
Navigating the unique complexities of the tech industry? Struggling with analysis paralysis? I help identify and tackle core challenges, providing clarity and actionable steps for your and your venture’s success.

Experiences
Product Leadership in Data/Video Analytics
I've led the development of innovative data/video analytics products in healthcare, security, and media. Most recently, I was VP Product at a tech company where we used AI to offer cost-effective, accurate dental curing light testing, partnering with 3M and also selling directly to clinics/DSOs.
Strategy Consulting
Following my MBA at INSEAD, I joined the London office of the global strategy consulting firm L.E.K., where I led teams in executing high-stakes, time-sensitive projects for government, private equity, and hedge fund clients. I was later a business advisor to women entrepreneurs.
Fostering Future Entrepreneurs and Engineers
I created and led a month-long social entrepreneurship program for high school students within the acclaimed Shad Canada network. I also served as the Research/Partnership Director for a new sustainable design engineering degree program, and as a Non-Executive Director at a startup incubator.
Mentoring
I’ve volunteered as a mentor to budding entrepreneurs and university students in programs like the Royal Academy of Engineering Leadership Award, Lab2Market, and Women in Science and Engineering. I was an industry supervisor to an Engineering Doctorate student (now an Engineering Manager at Meta).
Storytelling with Data
As a Daily Telegraph science writing award winner, I’ve crafted compelling narratives with data to support pitches to potential investors and applications for research funding. I’ve used data creatively to demonstrate impact for investors and funders, and to estimate ROI for potential customers.
Presentations and Workshops
I’ve presented to many different audiences: research presentations at large international conferences; invited talks for students on career development and entrepreneurship; business planning sessions for entrepreneurs. I’ve led workshops related to design thinking, team building, and robotics.
Pedalling Challenges: From Etape du Tour to Trailblazing Team
I completed the gruelling Etape du Tour twice, one of few women participants. My partner (a former elite UK time trialist) and I were instrumental in getting the a3crg cycling team off the ground. Our entrepreneurial spirit led us to later introduce TORQ Fitness products to Canada.
