Shawna Tregunna had become one of the city’s true digital marketing gurus, assembling a growing client base through her company ReSoMe. The agency was acquired by Iversoft in 2017, and Tregunna continued to expand her client portfolio as the head of Iversoft’s marketing and digital service arm.

In addition to her marketing acumen, Tregunna is also a sought-after speaker and a tireless promoter of the capital’s entrepreneurial community through her work with organizations such as the Founder Institute and Startup Ottawa.
