About

Vani Edwardson

Where I'm headed

Where I've been

Results-driven executive with 25 years of experience in B2B product marketing, vertical market solutions, professional services, and SaaS strategies. Proven track record across a spectrum of organizations, from small startups to large enterprises.

Where I've been

Where I'm headed

Where I've been

My time at large firms like Nortel, Mitel, Bell Canada, and Nanometrics equipped me with a solid foundation in go-to-market and product marketing. These roles were balanced by opportunities at smaller companies where I enjoyed the “all hands” challenge of driving growth in resource-constrained environments.

Where I'm headed

The pandemic led me to rethink my purpose and where I could have a meaningful impact. In 2022, I founded Ryval to focus on making an impact by helping Canadian talent and businesses thrive.
