Jaime Leverton - CEO at Hut 8 Mining Corp.

Fearless Women Podcast By Janice McDonald

I have an exciting Fearless guest for you today! I’ve been a fan girl since I first met her - years ago - when I was Board Chair of Women in Communications and Technology in Canada, and she had already stacked up a ton of well deserved accolades. I’m talking about Jaime Leverton.

Jamie is the CEO of the publicly listed bitcoin mining company HUT 8. She's been a driving force behind the operational re-imagining of some of Canada’s most important tech companies, with senior executive roles at; eStruxture, Cogeco Peer 1, National Bank, BlackBerry, Bell Canada, and IBM Canada. She’s an avid runner, a mom, and a volunteer serving on boards including: Stratford Festival, Technation and more!

"What I realized was, I had never done any networking. I didn't have relationships outside of that IBM bubble. And really, I felt alone a bit. And I had to think of myself and my career in a whole new way, and in a very self centered way. And so, rather than thinking about how I'm going to get the next promotion, and having that world view be how other people look at me, I flipped it, and all of the ownership became my own, and how was I going to drive myself to the new opportunity, and have people want me on their team and want me in a leadership role."
