Bio

Yvonne has been described as a speaker who inspires her audience to take immediate action towards the change they desire... “My first objective is providing great audience experience and client satisfaction!“

She is passionate about positive change, and works with organisations to help implement change that drives results and enables them achieve their financial and organisational goals.

Yvonne is multifaceted, having worked with a variety of clients including major corporations such as Royal Bank Canada, JP Morgan Chase, Loblaw, GM, Phillips Consulting, and Deloitte & Touché to deliver strategic and business critical projects.

During her time with these organisations, she led major projects, pioneered change and also gained invaluable experience working with clients globally - Europe, Africa and North America – that has afforded her exposure to diverse business environments and a proficiency in thinking outside the box.
