Fatima Zaidi: The slow slog....um....no...skyrocketing her way to CEO.

At the age of 17, Fatima Zaidi moved to Toronto from Oman and start her first year of university. After graduating with a degree in HR from University of Toronto she moved on to HR roles in a number of Toronto based corporations.  Tenacious and quick thinking it didn’t take her long to realize a slow placed, bureaucratic corporate environment where success is rarely tied to merit wasn’t for her. Fatima needed to make a move; it was time to pivot. Her next move …a start-up …and she’s never looked back since, her career sky rocketed, and she is now the Co-Founder and CEO of Quill.  On our episode today Fatima talks to us about her career and barriers that women of colour face when entering the start up world.
