About the Director / CEO
Born in Toronto Canada, Alanna grew up in a small town of approximately 35,000.
In her early twenties she moved to the city of Toronto becoming acquainted with vibrant city life.
Working a typical 9-5 work day in an office environment while maneuvering her way through the trials and tribulations of early adulthood, she realized she wasn't happy working for someone else.
She truly desired to become her own boss and would stop at nothing to find out how to start and run a profitable business of her own. She enjoyed alternative health products and alternative healing modalities and stumbled across infra red saunas & red light therapies to help alleviate pain and various injuries.
While searching locally for funding and being declined for business funding as well as grant funding for small businesses to start her own health care clinic based on natural remedies and infra red sauna therapies, she learned first hand how challenging this task was and spent a very long time researching how to obtain financing to get her company off the ground.
She searched for investment partners, bankers & assistance and grant funding to help her locate capital. She was continually declined due to lack of credit and or no experience in the filed and lack of bankable assets.
Going through this grueling process led her to finding her passion! ~ Guiding Entrepreneurs to locate sources of financing for their dreams of owning a real bona fide business. One that would grow and be proud of to pass onto future generations. She knew this would be difficult and would endure a tremendous amount of hard work and many challenges ahead of her.
Fast forward to 2024, almost 17 years later she has a rolodex of performing asset managers, lenders and investors at her fingertips. Led by mentors Alanna was introduced to leveraging strategies privy to private bankers, which she can offer to compliant companies to execute seamlessly and transparently.
These methodologies are extremely fascinating and greatly misunderstood by the masses. She dove further into credit & Debt and how banks manage clients deposits and trading behind the scenes known as "shadow banking" - Many retail bankers aren't informed of nor educated on while studying to become a "banker" or fund manager. Truly a mystery, these services are highly specialized and seek high level approvals.
