About Anna

Anna is an experienced IT professional with a uniquely niched experience in the Insurance space. Her experience driving the success of complex IT initiatives, mentoring IT professionals and helping entrepreneurs get started in the luxury space is a testament to her admirable multi-tasking skillset. 

Her successful career in the IT field can be largely attributed to aiding the resolution of outdated systems, shedding light on proper prioritization of projects, structuring initiatives strategically and effectively managing projects and portfolios from a holistic perspective.

As a college Professor and published Amazon Author, Anna gets to follow her passion of teaching, coaching and mentoring through the courses she offers at her leaning and development academy, "Learn With Anna" and a community college in Ontario, Canada.

As a luxury enthusiast, Anna created Luxstopp to engage emerging and established business owners in building storefronts for today’s luxury consumer. In so doing, she also encourages Creatives to build products, while providing a platform for them to reach their ideal clients.

In both areas of passionate interests, Anna has mastered the art of continuously delivering a holistic experience to organizations and vendors alike; Anna brings great value to portfolios, as opposed to just one project. At Luxstopp, she exemplifies leadership in training vendors one-on-one and taking them from little or no knowledge to expert online business owners. Many might even refer to her as the ‘Cheerleader of Luxury Success’ 

Having been in the IT space for 15 years, leading projects across Canada, managing disorganization and high-stress levels, Anna believes that many of these challenges can be avoided with strategic plans in place to effectively utilize available resources. She believes that effective teamwork and growing together is a great contributor to any portfolio.

At Sunlife, Anna organized a Project Manager Summit for all Project Managers in Canada, where the summit was poised to prepare Project Managers for the adoption of agile methodology. She has also successfully managed a number of policy admin implementations, working with multiple geographical regions, across various cultures. Her experience working extensively with senior leadership allows her to surpass the expectation on projects and portfolios within the organization.
