Collisions YYC

In this episode of Beyond the Echo, I am joined by Kari Viccars, Senior Marketing, Communications & Partnerships Consultant, as she talks about coming home to Calgary from New Zealand and how each tech and start-up cultures compare.

Show Notes

Kari got her start in marketing and business development right here in Calgary, working with a local architecture firm before entering the oil and gas sector. Once she grew weary of big business politics, Kari started her consultancy to help Calgarian tech entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground, a venture that took her to conferences around North America. That’s when an AI start-up from New Zealand noticed Kari and lured her across the Pacific Ocean with a job. Now, since coming home to Calgary, Kari sees a lot of untapped opportunities to transform our tech and start-up cultures. Join me as Kari compares her start-up experience in Calgary to those aboard and shares her excitement in the transformation she has seen since she came home.
