She believes that marrying technology with evolving consumer and business needs through effective storytelling is the future.
Prior to joining Gibraltar, Joelle spent six years with Facebook and Instagram in various marketing solutions and business development capacities. Notably, Joelle led Instagram's business entry into the Canadian market by spearheading the business and brand development of the platform as well as its monetization strategy. Most recently, Joelle led the global revenue growth efforts of Instagram's fastest growing product, Stories.
Prior to her tenure at Facebook, Joelle spent the first half of her career in consumer marketing and advertising. She spent seven years at McCann Erickson, in Montreal, advising L'Oréal Canada's consumer products division and another two years building brands at Shiseido Canada.
As a creative thinker and brand builder, Joelle applies much of her business acumen to her personal life.

As a new mom energized by creative projects and conversations with great people, she created Macchiato & Me during her maternity leave, a visually immersive coffee table book of memorable moments shared over a Macchiato. The book is a new mom's testament to her career persona and her passion for connecting with people over coffee.
