Bio
Victoria Miles (Nunuk)
For the first three years of my term at Capilano University, I reported directly to Irene. She was an outstanding leader and mentor, with an unrivalled ability to listen and advise on some of the most challenging situations. Irene exemplified a refined practise of quiet leadership--helping others to think for themselves. She possesses a strong instinct to seek out what really matters, keeps her compass on organizational goals and is always open to creative ways of achieving them. Steady, eloquent and kind Irene communicates to inspire and never forgets to say thank you. To those who have not yet had the opportunity, it is a privilege to work for her.
Denise S.
Irene has the perfect balance in leading projects and operations: she is results driven with a deeply understanding about companies' strategy, but at the same time she is a distinguished human being and an expert in engaging people. It was a privilege learn with her and work in her team at Capilano University.
