MeetAmi

Sarah is the Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder of MeetAmi (“MeetAmi”) Innovations Inc, a Vancouver-based Fintech company that has built AmiPRO™, the first Digital Asset investing platform in Canada.

The soon to launch Digital Asset Shelf™, a curated listing of Digital Asset and tokenized investment opportunities can be accessed through the AmiPRO platform. MeetAmi empowers advisors to confidently invest in Digital Assets while navigating the Digital Asset world.

Sarah provides strategic leadership and vision to MeetAmi’s team, guiding them to the next level of growth as they take the lead in creating the only Digital Asset investing platform in Canada that will eventually be used worldwide. Sarah is driving the strategy of a bold vision, the first of it’s kind while integrating learning, consulting, product and vendor selection into a compliance and workflow engine to meet Canada’s regulatory requirements.

Sarah is a serial entrepreneur, starting six companies, serving on several boards and acting as an advisor for over eight organizations during the past 19 years. She started her first company in 2005, seeing the opportunity for companies to essentially “rent” their IT computer needs rather than spend large amounts of capital to run their own. This concept eventually became known as Cloud Computing and today is ubiquitous.

Prior to MeetAmi, Sarah was the Chief Strategy Officer for PowerBD Solutions, a Vancouver-based private company, supplying green, renewable power to next generation compute intensive technologies such as blockchain, crypto mining, AI, VR/AR and rendering.

Sarah is a mentor and constant inspiration to many. Her ability to think generationally and keep her cool meeting challenging deadlines keeps MeetAmi’s team focused and confidently driving forward.

Sarah is continuing to oversee the launch of the AmiPRO Digital Asset investing platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s an ambitious project in which she is thriving, having worked with her co-founder to build a stellar team with the capabilities, experience and ambition to execute on this vision.
