Tasha Richard

I am a self proclaimed start-up junkie and business plan addict. I curate a business community for professional Moms called momcafé (www.momcafenetwork.com), write kids books on empathy and coach entrepreneurs who are in dire need a plan of action. I love the process of creation.

I worked corporately managing multi-million dollar brands with Johnson and Johnson and had a blast launching dozens of products into the Canadian marketplace. I built an expertise in advertising, sponsorship and integrated event activations and use the big boys' strategies to create penny plans for start-ups. I created, built and sold a business incubator and have led dozens of companies to profitability. Heck I even drove the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile across Canada in search of the next big talent.

For those looking for the letters after my name: I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from Mcgill University in Montreal, Quebec with a Triple Major in Marketing, Entrepreneurship and Human Resources. I also have a Masters of Business Administration from Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I ascribe to the teachings of Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk, Marie Forleo and Danielle LaPorte. Business brilliance of our generation.

My addiction to business coincides with my addiction to my family of three kids, two dogs and one husband. They patiently support my burning desire to rescue businesses one profit model at a time. Did I mention I love creation?
