With over 20 years in leadership roles with technology companies including StellarAlgo, Agreement Express (acquired by Frontier Growth and then NMI), Solium (acquired by Morgan Stanley) and Telus, Wendy offers invaluable expertise in rapid growth, acquisitions, and organizational changes. She leads the Unicorn Labs HR Leader Peer Group and sits on the UL roster offering coaching support to emerging, senior and executive leaders.

Wendy took a non-traditional path into HR with early career roles in operations, sales, marketing and customer success. These roles helped build her understanding of cross-organization needs and challenges in hiring, talent development and HR process, and make her an empathetic and practical people leader. Recently at Agreement Express, Wendy was at the forefront of extreme growth, establishing and then evolving HR foundations, riding the roller coaster of sourcing external investment, and ultimately learning to navigate three different ownership transactions. While at Telus, in customer success and product management, she learned the art of partnership as she played the role of “marriage counselor” between the mammoth telco and the agile, organic startup. Wendy has been leading HR in house or offering outsourced fractional HR services and consulting projects through her own consultancy for the last 10 years.
