Kirsten Watson is buzzing with excitement as she steps into a new part-time adventure that feels like it was meant to be. After a 30-year career as an executive in global marketing—leading teams, scaling companies, and thriving in the high-stakes world of tech—she’s now bringing that same energy and know-how to something incredibly close to her heart: helping animals. 
 
Kirsten has joined forces with the brilliant and inspiring Dr. Savannah Mahoney, whose Ottawa-area practice is growing like wildfire. Kirsten is jumping in with both feet—streamlining systems, shaping marketing strategies, and supporting the growth of something truly special.
 
Born and raised in Carleton Place, having grown up riding horses, Kirsten lives nearby with her husband Neil (her partner-in-everything for 30 years), and their three beloved dogs: Bauer, Archie, and Indie. 

​

Fun fact: In 2015, Gene Simmons of KISS pulled her onstage at The Art Of Marketing conference. His last question: what career would bring you the most joy and happiness? Her answer:  “Helping animals.” Ten years later, she’s now living it!

​

“Merging my experience and creativity with a lifelong love for animals feels like coming home—to a place where purpose and passion unite.”
