The experiences leaders gain while building and scaling businesses become invaluable when guiding others through similar growth journeys.

In this alumni feature from TFS – Canada’s International School (Toronto French School), our Founder and Managing Director, Ashlynne Dale, reflects on the path from law and commercial litigation to acquiring and growing Norwood Sawmills into a global outdoor equipment brand.

Those experiences continue to inform how Ashlynne works alongside the leadership teams of the companies we invest in, bringing practical insight into strategy, brand building, and long-term value creation at the board level.

On International Women’s Day, we’re especially pleased to share her story and perspective.
