Biography

Margaret Glover-Campbell’s career began in advertising and design, building campaigns and brands for her clients. She was drawn to her tech clients, specifically tech startups, who were defining and building new industries. She eventually made the move client-side to be more hands-on in the building. Since then, Glover-Campbell has worked primarily in technology and STEM education startup and scale-up environments, always being drawn back to the excitement of starting something new, creating and building products and industries that are on the brink of breaking into modern lives. For the past seven years, she has focused on how to get more students to enter STEM fields, specifically in exponential technology fields such as synthetic biology, nanotechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence. More recently, she has focused on how under-employed or unemployed STEM workers can reskill or upskill to meet the growing demand for skilled workers in new technology fields.

Glover-Campbell is Board Chair of Chic Geek, a non-profit organization empowering women to succeed in the tech sector and heads up operations for The Virtual Gurus, Canada's fastest growing Talent-as-a-Service platform.
