Hi there! I am Tonia. The Founder of Startup + Rise Up. A People & Talent leader with more than a decade of experience within the technology sector, dedicated to enabling organizational growth through strategic People practices. I specialize in designing and executing international sourcing strategies, building comprehensive talent frameworks, implementing scalable tools and systems, and identifying high-impact talent for fast-growing technology companies across North America.
Consistently recognized as a trusted People & Talent partner to executive stakeholders, I bring a strong track record of coaching, mentoring, and enabling Talent Acquisition teams to operate with greater efficiency, consistency, and strategic focus. I am committed to continuous improvement and to developing innovative approaches that elevate both process and performance.
My leadership philosophy is rooted in empowerment and collaboration. I partner closely with founders and leaders to align People strategy with business objectives and to build high-performing teams that drive meaningful impact.
When exceptional people come together, they create exceptional outcomes—and I am passionate about helping organizations assemble the talent that makes this possible.
