Vice President Human Resources

The North West Company is a retail store that is a retailer of food and everyday products and services to rural communities and urban neighbourhoods in Canada.

I believe that if you have confidence in complexity, then you will help organizations grow and achieve superiority in service. Being authentic in my leadership style, together with healthy dose of curiosity and resilience, has helped me support some great organizations in earning employee trust and improving organizational performance. I’m truly passionate and energized about my profession. While I enjoy all components of my job, my favorite aspects are partnering with the business leaders to understand their business objectives, and discovering how we can collaboratively formulate strategies to build programs that truly support workplace engagement and capability. I am a keen advocate of change management, and always encourage my team to look for process improvements to realize efficiencies and engage people in a more value added way. I believe that my role is not always to direct others, but to encourage them to move in a direction that is best for them. Understanding that everyone has their own perspective and contribution to make, helps both the team and individuals do their best work.
