About Victoria

Biography

I have over 34 years of experience in leading a range of companies and participating effectively in teams. Adventures in business include working as a controller in manufacturing; president and owner of a private fiduciary company established to manage conservatorships, guardianships, trusts and estates; and most recently, managing director for a large trust division in a national bank.

In 2005, I established the Itafari Foundation with two incredible women who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Together we have created a non-profit organization to assist the survivors of the genocide in Rwanda. This is being done in many ways, including donations to organizations and individuals in Rwanda and by inspiring the women and children to have hope and to realize their empowerment to rebuild better lives.
