CEO & Founder
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
I founded Coconut Software on a simple belief: Time is our most valuable currency. What began as a pencil sketch and a $5K loan has evolved into an AI-powered engine redefining the modern branch. As CEO, I’m focused on helping banks and credit unions deliver a unified “one bank” experience. We do this by bridging the gap between complex operations and high-value customer engagements, turning everyday transactions into meaningful conversations.
Coconut is a mission-critical partner for nearly 30% of North America’s top financial institutions, including RBC, MACU, and M&T Bank. By pairing AI-driven insights with enterprise-grade scheduling, queuing, and workforce optimization, we empower our partners to forecast demand and align staff to the moments that shape their customers' lives.
I’m intentional about building a culture where we aim high and act with total honesty. To me, performance isn't just about the numbers; it’s about a “get it done and do it right” mindset that values both our company goals and the people who reach them. This approach has earned Coconut spots on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ and Fast 500™, The Globe and Mail’s Top Growing Companies, and Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, while naming me one of Pavilion’s Top 50 CEOs to Watch in North America.
Beyond the boardroom, I stay close to the tech ecosystem by mentoring the next generation of women leaders and Prairie-based founders. My downtime is just as fast-paced; my husband and I are deeply dedicated to the world of football and women’s wrestling alongside our kids, spending our weekends on fields and in gyms. Whether in business or at home, I’m driven by one goal: making sure our time is well spent.
