Leadership
Sonal Haria
Interpersonal, social, creative and tech-savvy, Sonal’s knack for marketing strategy and implementation has proved successful with clients. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Sonal recognized the need to offer contemporary digital marketing solutions to up and coming businesses in East Africa. After completing her Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, at the Sauder School of Business, she went on to start a digital agency in Vancouver. Her strong networks in both the Canadian and Kenyan business communities, experience in investor-relations, technology and start-ups have have helped her translate and implement the latest digital strategies and technology into African markets. Her “just do it” mindset and strong work ethic drove both NutriEats and Canvas to evolve from start-ups to greatly respected brands in the Sub-Saharan business community. Sonal, an avid supporter of women in business and entrepreneurship, also runs her own blog Diaries of a Serial Entrepreneur.
