Alex’s career began in investment banking where she built her analytical foundation and curiosity for understanding different industries and business models. Driven by the desire to work more closely with companies and management teams, Alex moved on to work with earlier stage businesses at CPG and Technology focused funds. This experience illustrated the importance of finding the right ‘fit’ between founders and investors. Alex is eager to continue learning about new concepts and businesses across a variety of industries. Reflective of the variety in the Canadian early-stage ecosystem, Alex is particularly interested in AgTech and FoodTech opportunities. Most importantly, Alex is excited to bring Alpaca’s ‘all grit, no BS’ approach and enthusiasm for founder support to the Canadian market. Alex received a Commerce (Finance) degree from Dalhousie University before beginning her career.
