Meet the founder
Brittany Saunders has never taken the most predictable path—and that is precisely what makes her good at seeing the move others miss.
The through line
From the Saskatchewan prairie to an international stage, from Africa to national business leadership, Brittany’s story is one of choosing experience, reading people, and building bridges between very different worlds.
Costa Rica · 2007
Brittany arrived in Costa Rica as a last-minute replacement representing Canada. Among approximately 30 competitors—and several years younger than the next-youngest contestant—she placed third overall and received Miss Congeniality.
The experience became an early lesson in entering unfamiliar rooms with confidence, earning trust quickly, and finding common ground across cultures.
Famagusta · c. 2012 / Canada · 2013
Around 2012, Brittany represented Canada at an international competition in Famagusta, Cyprus. In 2013, she competed in Miss Universe Canada while simultaneously attending university full-time and working full-time.
The pageant was never her only focus. It unfolded alongside the education, career-building, and personal drive that were already shaping her future. What endured were the relationships—and a natural ability to connect with people in every room she entered.
East London · South Africa
I gave up a scholarship from high school and stepped away from some university classes to spend just over three months working as a nanny in South Africa. I was based in East London, but had the chance to explore much more of the country.
It was an amazing experience—one I still treasure. The people, the places, and those everyday adventures have stayed with me. I’d love to go back one day.
Today, that connection continues through my work: helping people find cash-and-carry gold opportunities in Johannesburg and helping facilitate gold sales across Africa.
My team and I want to get to the point and do good. Honesty, transparency, and care for the people involved matter to us. Those are the values we want to bring to every conversation and opportunity.
Ride Through the Rockies · 2023
While working for Schneider Electric, Brittany took part in Ride Through the Rockies through Qualico and Star Building Supplies, helping raise thousands of dollars for Habitat for Humanity in Calgary, Alberta.
Brittany grew up in Saskatchewan, where open horizons, practical resilience, and a strong sense of community shaped how she sees opportunity. That western-Canadian grounding still anchors every relationship and every move.
When another delegate could not attend an international pageant in Costa Rica, Brittany stepped in as Miss Teen Canada. Four to five years younger than the next competitor in a field of roughly 30 young women, she finished third and was named Miss Congeniality—early proof that courage, adaptability, and genuine connection could carry her onto a global stage.
Around 2012, Brittany represented Canada at an international competition in Famagusta, Cyprus. She later competed in Miss Universe Canada in 2013 while attending university full-time and working full-time. Pageantry was not her central focus in that season; it was one part of an already demanding life shaped by ambition, work, and education.
Brittany gave up a scholarship from high school and stepped away from some university classes to spend just over three months as a nanny in South Africa. Based in East London, she explored much of the country—an experience she treasures and hopes to return to one day.
Back in Canada, Brittany built a standout career in payment systems, becoming a leading national performer while working across relationships involving RBC and BMO. She learned how trust, timing, and execution turn introductions into results.
As Western Canadian Residential Business Development lead for Schneider Electric, Brittany worked at the intersection of commercial growth, relationships, and the infrastructure people rely on every day.
Left Field brings those chapters together: global perspective, commercial instinct, relationship-building, and the confidence to pursue the opportunity others may not see yet.
A force for change
I’ve always connected with the phrase “the cusp of revolution.” To me, it captures the instinct to question what’s possible, challenge what’s stuck, and imagine what could come next.
Miley Cyrus gave the world “Wrecking Ball.” My own connection to that image has a distinctly Canadian setting: Lethbridge’s wind gauge, a little prairie humour, and a belief that even something heavy can become a symbol of movement.
In business, I want to bring that energy to the barriers that hold good ideas back: the missing introduction, the disconnected partners, the opportunity waiting for someone to see how the pieces fit.
Canada has extraordinary people, resources, and ideas. I want to help turn that potential into projects, partnerships, and progress. That’s the kind of force I want to be.
A little closer to home
Blue Jays gear, time at the ballpark, and the CN Tower after dark—a few personal moments from Toronto, with Canadian pride running through them all.
For leisure and for business
From time in Los Angeles to an Edwards School of Business study tour in San Francisco—a few memories from past trips to California.
Advisory roles
Brittany also serves as an advisor to Firefox Wildfire, Devox Solutions, and EcoTech Building Solutions.
“The best move is not always the most obvious one.”
