Hands-On Support
Hands-on help during periods of growth, change, or transition.
When you’re stretched thin, I step in as a part-time leader or project partner — rolling up my sleeves, moving initiatives forward, and bringing an experienced, grounded perspective to your team. It’s the support you need without the commitment of a full-time hire.
Here’s how I help:
Driving key projects forward — market research, new product or market exploration, strategic funding initiatives, business development projects, trade missions, stakeholder engagement, sales support, and operational improvements.
Supporting soft landings for international companies expanding into Canada — market entry strategy, partnership development, funding navigation, and on-the-ground execution to accelerate early traction.
Flexible support — whether you need strategic guidance, a doer who can execute, or both, I bring the experience, leadership, and energy to help you build momentum when it matters most.
