Join Heather Barnhouse, Partner in our Edmonton
office, as she explores women in leadership and entrepreneurship,
and the ecosystem that supports them. In episode 86, Heather is
joined by Sheetal Mehta, an experienced Board Member,
Founder, Entrepreneur, and two-time TEDx speaker. Sheetal shares
her journey from arriving in Canada as a refugee, to leading global
venture capital initiatives at Microsoft, to founding Shanti Life, a microfinance non-profit focused
on empowering vulnerable women through financial literacy, safe
sanitation and small business creation.
Sheetal discusses her belief in "technology for good,"
the importance of smart capital, and her work in supporting
women-led businesses through mentorship and investment. Heather and
Sheetal also reflect on resilience, the value of strong
partnerships and why financial inclusion remains essential in 2025.
