A PASSION FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Meet Delilah

As the Vice President of US Capital Formation for Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, I advise U.S. companies on the opportunity to list and raise capital on the Canadian capital markets. I was named in the 2019 Top 100 People in Finance. 

As the founder of Fortuna Funding, I provide practical and intentional guidance on accessing aligned capital... from bootstrapping to IPO. Passionate about helping women entrepreneurs access the right capital, I created the proprietary Fortuna Funding Framework for female founders to develop their ideal funding strategy.

I am also the Executive Director and Co-Founder of We Are Enough, a non-profit that educates women on why and how to invest in women-owned businesses and/or with a gender lens.

I am a frequent speaker and pitch competition judge and coach, and I recently partnered with UBS and SheEO on Project Female Founder. I am an Activator for Coralus (formerly SheEO) and led the 2016 US launch in Los Angeles for this global financing vehicle for female and non-binary founders.

I am currently an Advisory Board Member for MAPLE Business Council (a trade organization between Canada and Southern California), Chair of the Funding Committee for Women Leaders of Octane, and Advisory Board Member of We Global Studios (an innovation studio for women entrepreneurs).

My background is as a capital markets expert with 10 years previously in business development at Toronto Stock Exchange, including as the Director, Business Development & Strategy. I have advised many companies on the going public process and can provide an understanding of private and public financing options in Canada and the United States. 

I hold an MBA in Enterprise Development and a BA in English, and have completed a certification as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Practitioner.
