Joannie Rochette (She/her)

I'm Joannie Rochette, an Olympic bronze medalist in figure skating and a six-time Canadian champion. Following my athletic career, I transitioned into medicine, earning my MD from McGill University in 2020. I am currently completing my residency in anesthesiology at the University of Montreal. What sets me apart is a unique combination of elite performance under pressure, adaptability in high-stakes environments, and a strong commitment to personal growth and service. This diverse background makes me a valuable resource for early-stage founders. I understand what it takes to thrive amid uncertainty and perform at a high level. I bring insights into perseverance, personal branding, resilience in the face of adversity, and navigating transitions between seemingly unrelated fields—all essential qualities for entrepreneurs forging their own path.
