Having spent the majority of her time high tech, Lori has significant expertise in the business-to-business sector, developing marketing programs for distributor, reseller and OEM channels. However, she started her marketing career in the consumer packaged goods industry working for 10 years at the head office for Avon Canada, in Montreal.

In 1997, Lori moved to Vancouver and spent the next 10 years working in the technology sector. From 1997 - 2001, she joined the start up team at Microcell Solutions and created the marketing organization that launched the Fido brand in Western Canada, which became Canada's fastest growing telecommunications company (later sold to Rogers).

From 2001 to 2005, Lori joined Crystal Decisions which quickly grew from a $140M startup to the fastest growing enterprise software company in the world, with more than 1,600 employees and USD$300 million in revenues.

During her time at Crystal, Lori was directly responsible for the channel marketing organization, developing lead generation programs to drive opportunities and revenue.

During her tenure, Lori developed strategic business plans for new market opportunities in the SMB and developer segments, both of which led to strategic corporate commitment to those markets. Lori played an instrumental role in the integration process when Crystal was ultimately acquired by Business Objects in 2004, which immediately transformed the company to a billion dollar Fortune 500 organization.

Currently, Lori is Director of Marketing at Xantrex Technology Inc, where she built the global channel marketing organization from the ground up and now leads a team of 10 responsible for partner recruitment, lead generation, partner communications, consumer awareness, PR and web across the retail, Mobile OEM and renewable sectors.
