As the former Director of Economic Development Programs at the Canadian Women’s Foundation, she successfully led poverty reduction work, which consisted of national multi-year granting strategies that supported women’s financial equality and independence through entrepreneurship, social enterprise, employment training and access to trades and technology pre-apprenticeships. As an advisor to the Gender and the Economy Institute, Chanel played a pivotal role in the development of their Gender Analytics program and GBA+ Competency Framework.
In Chanel’s current consulting practice she supports leaders to design and integrate sustainable inclusion and equity practices.
