Women in Business and Tech

When Iana Dogel came to Canada with her husband she was looking for a career change. She already had a PhD in Life Sciences, but decided to pursue an MBA from the UofA to gain career flexibility. Now, as a consultant with Grant Thorton, she uses her PhD/MBA expertise to access government incentives for tech companies. Previously she ran her own consulting and founded a med dev start-up that develops a solution for mental health. In this episode of WTJ?, Iana speaks about her experience of coming to Canada, the importance of immigrant voices, starting a company and how she networks as an introvert. WTJ is sponsored by TD Insurance. Got a question?
