ZJ has long been fascinated by business and technology. As a child, she often retreated to closets and cardboard forts to toil in a makeshift “office,” her stuffed toys as diligent colleagues.

Growing up in the foster care system, ZJ developed exceptional adaptability and social insight. These skills help her navigate complex environments and connect quickly with diverse teams. She thrives under pressure, bringing focus and clarity when stakes are highest.

With a broad background spanning multiple industries, ZJ combines sharp insight into organizational dynamics with a natural ability to connect with and understand customer viewpoints.

ZJ’s analytical approach is both thorough and efficient: she rapidly assesses challenges from multiple angles, generates solutions, and works intimately with clients to refine and implement the best path forward.

Integrity is central to ZJ’s work. She is purpose-driven, advocating for equity and economic empowerment for historically marginalized communities, and values rest and reflection as essential to resilience and sustainable growth.

ZJ lives in Toronto with her unusually small dog, Pepper.

Beyond resolving immediate crises, ZJ aims to help leaders internalize lessons learned and build lasting strength, preparing them to lead decisively and with conviction in an uncertain world.
