Work and impact
Skalde is one of the few people in Canadian venture capital whose full-time job is talent, not investing, and she uses that seat to advise both Inovia's internal leadership and the founders in its portfolio on hiring, organizational design and leadership development. Her path through Paris, then a Gulf sovereign wealth fund's VC, PE, real estate, infrastructure and hedge fund businesses, then Inovia gives her a rare cross-border view of how talent functions scale inside investment firms. She is invited to speak at events like Réseau Capital and the VC Platform Global Summit, and to executive-search industry outlets such as Hunt Scanlon, as a source on how private equity and venture firms build talent programs and use people data to support deal teams. Founders and portfolio company leaders inside Inovia's network rely on her team for recruiting and organizational support as they scale.
