About The Speakers:

Tim Swanson, Corporate Recruiters BC

Tim has over 25 years of executive search and recruiting experience from emerging growth companies to Fortune 500 companies. For the past decade, he has focused on helping BC-based technology companies build their executive teams and has become an expert in understanding how executives and their teams need to evolve as their companies grow. Tim started his executive search career in Tokyo helping Global Fortune 500 companies to build the leadership teams responsible for opening up Asian markets before returning to Vancouver over a decade ago. He is a graduate of the University of Victoria.

Annika Reinhardt, Talent Collective

As the co-founder of Talent Collective, an organization focused on helping tech companies develop, grow and reward their talent, Annika Reinhardt creates compensation strategies that are values aligned and don’t break the bank. She is a Certified Compensation Professional with a Masters Degree in Project Management and 10+ years of experience in organizational development. Annika can also be found sharing her thoughts on topics like the gender gap and pay transparency on news outlets such as CBC, CTV and the Globe & Mail.

Amandy Nagy, Thinkific

From customer service to social media and now people and culture, Amanda Nagy has absorbed countless uncommon skills (the perfect latte, anyone?) while forging her non-linear career path. Her marketing background, love of helping others and innate desire to have all things organized (she has been known to successfully herd cats…) all roll up into her dream job as People & Culture Specialist at Thinkific. Amanda's current passions include advocating for women and minorities in the tech industry, as well as creating exceptional candidate and employee experiences. While she doesn't get much sleep, she finds ways to turn it into a positive by whipping up sweet treats for her friends and coworkers.
