Kataneh has always been fascinated by how people behave. From childhood, as an avid world traveller, she has loved to observe people from all backgrounds, to motivate those who are about to give up and to connect innovation with human needs.
Throughout her career, she has worked with leaders from start-ups to global entities locally, nationally and internationally. Her experience includes working for companies such as Northwest Realty, Royal Bank, CIBC, Deloitte, Boyden (former Odgers), Peeple Inc. and WMC. She has helped lead hundreds of senior-level executive search projects, coached professionals of all levels, helped launch global compensation and performance management programs, completed change management projects in the Middle East as well as acted as an advisor for a variety of for-profit and non-profit boards.
As a certified CTI and Positive Intelligence coach, she brings that training to all conversations – from supporting a leadership team, interviewing candidates or in her role as a resilience coach.
Kataneh continues to be active in the non-profit community with a passion for supporting grassroots initiatives. She has been a Board member with Pain BC, Neekoo Philanthropic Foundation, and Kits Neighbourhood House. She also dabbled in a nonprofit startup focused on humanity, diversity, equality, and integrity. Today her free time is spent painting in one of the studios that is part of the Eastside Cultural Crawl.
Kataneh holds a Bachelor of Commerce from UBC in Urban Land Economics, a certificate in International Business Management from HEC in Paris, as well as an MBA from McGill University in Strategic Management. She is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and a Certified Positive Intelligence coach.
