Erin Blaskie Joins IEC Mentorship Team

December 12, 2018
The day that Erin Blaskie's dad handed her a Commodore 64 (remember those?!) and told her to 'go have fun with it' was the birth of her curiosity for technology -- one that continues to this day (and also includes a deep obsession for video games!).

Fast forward a decade or so, to when she is appointed Director of Marketing for L-Spark, and we meet her at one of the numerous events she hosts or attends.

In talking to her, we learned that she spent 15 years as a marketing consultant for large corporations and brand new startups and  has expertise in branding, product launches, content creation and social media. Erin has been a TEDx speaker, a Google Certified Speaker and has been featured in Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc., Huffington Post and other publications. And we love it that she said she she joined L-Spark with a 'fervour to tell the stories that matter in the startup and entrepreneurship space'.

We knew right away that our entrepreneurs would benefit from her experience, skills and passion and, luckily for us, Erin agreed to give of her time beginning in January.
