Her entrepreneurial ventures include a start-up telecommunication firm in USA and a document process outsourcing company in Canada which grew to $33M in revenue with four facilities across the country. In 2012, she turned her focus to broadening early stage companies access to private capital by introducing technology to make the capital raising process more efficient, compliant and accessible.
