Innovator ⋅ leader ⋅ marketer ⋅ educator ⋅ coach
hi, I’m Kristina.
After 25+ years in the technology industry, including two successful exits, I decided to leave my EVP and CMO position within a global technology HCM organization to help women ACCELLErate their performance through one-on-one executive coaching and consulting.
My years of leadership experience and international certified coaching combine to form a unique toolkit including winning templates and strategies to augment the journey’s of my clients, and help them reach their goals – faster!
I founded ACCELLE to support my growing passion and commitment to help get more women into senior leadership positions. I am committed to continuing to develop and provide solutions that empower women to develop confidence, leadership presence and belong to a community where they can thrive.
I also pride myself on giving back to my community by supporting young girls and women. I founded the Cleary Leadership Athletic Scholarship in partnership with the University of Guelph in support of women athletes. I am also an in-school mentor with the Big Brothers and Sisters organization where I help young girls increase their confidence as they continue to grow and develop. And finally, ACCELLE is a proud sponsor of the girls U15A York Central Panthers Hockey Team.
Outside the office you can find me spending time with my husband of 20+ years, and as Chief Mom to my teenage daughter and son. When not getting beat by my kids at ping pong, I manage work-life integration by effectively incorporating my passions including reading, running, working out and team sports including volleyball and hockey.
And lastly, like my friends, you can call me KC. Nothing inspires me more on this journey than meeting and connecting with people. If you would like to connect, please click here to set up an intro call! I look forward to learning about you and your journey.

Competitive Spirit
I love competing – at ANYTHING. I have played competitive sports my entire life, including running, soccer and volleyball. And when I’m not watching my kids playing competitive volleyball, you’ll find me on the court or out on the lake curling!

Adventure Traveller
I love adventure travel. There’s nothing like it to rejuvenate the soul.
Before getting married, my husband and I went around the world – 28 flights in five months. Our last adventure trip as a family was to the Galápagos Islands.

Converted Dog Lover
I love my cavapoo Finley.
I am a transformed dog lover. I didn’t like dogs for most of my life. Our 20 lb cavapoo has converted me.
