Genome Atlantic is pleased to introduce its newest addition to the team, Britta Fiander, PEng.

Britta will fill the role of Project Development Officer, helping project teams from the early stages of proposal development through to project management.

Britta has honed her skills through dozens of R&D projects at KPMG and Grant Thornton, where she worked with clients to move their ideas into fully funded projects using a range of funding programs such as SR&ED, Mitacs and NRC-IRAP, to name a few.

Most recently, Britta was the key facilitator of local fundraising efforts for a multi-million-dollar health initiative based in Halifax. She is active in the R&D/innovation community, having served as a mentor for the Planet Hatch Technology Incubator, a judge for the Innovacorp I-3 Competition, and a member of the pitch selection committee for the Atlantic Venture Forum.
