Girl-centered nonprofit scaling operations through digital transformation
Girl Guides of Canada is a 110+ year old organization managing membership, fundraising, and programming across Canada with a compact 51–200 person team. Their tech stack is standardized around Microsoft (365, Dynamics 365, Azure, Teams, Power BI) with emerging moves into Zoho Desk and Alchemer—but the real signal is their project list: CRM/ERP integration, learning management system rollout, and enterprise risk management roadmap dominate their workload, revealing an organization mid-shift from legacy operational silos toward integrated digital platforms.
Notable leadership hires: Waterfront Director, Brand & Marketing Lead, Travel Lead
