Graduated High School at 16, Bought a House at 19 - Victoria Pt. 2
The Canadian tell — "out and about"
Growing up in Calgary; talked into the University of Calgary at sixteen despite offers elsewhere
Scholarship in hand, room and board free, and moving out anyway that first semester
Relocated to Toronto straight out of university, later to the US
One, two, sometimes three jobs at a time through school: banking, a doctor's office, acting and commercial work
Four or five hours of sleep at twenty — and what sleep looks like now
Her son's objection: "but then you have no social life"
The tuition bargain — maintain the GPA or repay the semester
C-suite, decoded: chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and the functions that reported to her
Recruited at twenty-four as COO and general manager, three months into new motherhood
Everything but finance in her remit, in a lean outsourcing P&L where mistakes cost money
Confidence read as competence — "rightfully or wrongfully so"
Just over forty M&A and divestiture transactions across the career
Twenty-six years in B2B professional services: outsourcing, consulting, technology
