Women in Tech Panel

Laura Hawkins
Laura is Director of Inbound Marketing at Kula Partners, Canada’s first HubSpot Platinum Agency Partner. She leads a team of inbound marketers that work together with designers and developers to create and execute strategies that help clients across North America sell more.
Katelyn Bourgoin, Founder and CEO, Vendeve
Katelyn Bourgoin gets shit done. As a serial entrepreneur, Forbes Influencer, and sought-after speaker, Katelyn is on a mission: to change the way women do business online.
After busting her ass for 5 years to build her first company—a marketing agency where she reeled in clients like Target and Holiday Inn—Katelyn did something surprising. She walked away from her safe, growing business to launch Vendeve, a high risk tech startup.
Vendeve is the business network for women. Hailed as the “LinkedIn for women entrepreneurs” by Inc. Magazine, Katelyn pushes the limit, breaks the rules and dedicates every waking hour to empowering female entrepreneurs to build better businesses by working together.

Science program in 2016, previously running the Women in Tech Society, and helping found the Culture of Respect at FCS committee, she was involved in trying to make the Faculty an even better place to be for
everyone. Brittany’s ‘happy place’ is helping clients solve their problems to make their day-to-day a little bit easier.
