Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDominique Simoneau-ritchie is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with two decades of engineering experience building platforms and APIs for companies like Shopify, Wealthsimple, Lever, IBM and BlackBerry. She has led organizations as large as 270+ engineers, launched the first BlackBerry 10 device and helped adapt that work into the QNX CAR platform embedded in hundreds of millions of vehicles. Known for combining hands-on architecture (GraphQL, micro-UI, RAG/LLM-enabled products) with people-first leadership, she has repeatedly increased engineering velocity and developer satisfaction while driving measurable business outcomes. Dominique is a deliberate builder of diverse, gender-balanced teams—raising female and non-binary representation substantially at multiple companies—and she pairs that with operational rigor like OKRs, outcome-driven roadmaps and automated data pipelines. Based in Victoria, BC, she repeatedly surfaces non-obvious leverage by consolidating product platforms and standardizing APIs to accelerate cross-sell, integrations and adoption.
