Heather Odendaal

Heather Odendaal is the founder of WNORTH, a conference series with the aim of providing a forum to women business leaders and entrepreneurs to connect and engage in professional development and leadership training. She launched the inaugural conference in 2015 while working as a sales executive at a Fortune 500 company, when her pursuit of finding a leadership conference for women on a path to senior executive leadership fell short. Heather herself is an accomplished entrepreneur and high-level event producer in Western Canada. Heather has worked on some of Canada’s most recognizable events, including the Whistler Film Festival, Crankworx Mountain Bike Festival, and the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
