Boozhoo, Denise nindizhinikaaz Anishinaabe ikwe niin Ma’iingan nindoodem. 

Hello, my name is Denise, I am an Ojibwe woman and belong to the Wolf Clan.

I am a member of the Red Rock Indian Band, an Ojibwe First Nation in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. I was raised in a traditional land-based Anishinaabeg home having spent my formative years alongside my maternal grandparents and extended family. 

I spent 20+ years in the federal public service and am a business leader, a role model in my community, and am committed to the advancement of Indigenous Peoples and the Indigenous economy. Indigenous Peoples were the first entrepreneurs of Turtle Island – we were and continue to be visionaries and innovators. By being open to connect to a wide ecosystem of Indigenous and non-indigenous mentors, entrepreneurs and business minds, I have gained and shared knowledge, tools and actions needed to activate economic reconciliation and increase understanding of Indigenous ways of doing business.

I am passionate about the advancement, growth, and success of Indigenous and Women-owned businesses. I am an active member of the following local, national, and international organizations, chartered to advocate and support Minority and Women-owned businesses to connect them to large corporate and public procurement supply chains.
