Sandra has been working to support entrepreneurs in the innovation ecosystem for over 10 years. She’s worked with a number of service providers that work to support entrepreneurs and startups from all industries at varying stages which has given her extensive insight into a significant number of companies in Alberta as well as across Canada and Internationally. Sandra has a way of understanding the big visions of entrepreneurs and articulating that in a concise way and then translating that into an action plan as she’s seen successes and failures of a number of entrepreneurs and startups. Working with entrepreneurs has always been invigorating which has kept her in this space, including time volunteering on a number of initiatives, and now running her own company Nimble Strategizing. Sandra’s goal is to help build and grow nimble, sustainable companies by working with startups and business owners.
