After two-and-a-half years at Valhalla Private Capital, Vancouver chapter president Camille Hunt is leaving the Valhalla team to pursue her passions as an entrepreneur.


With qualifications from the University of Otago, Yale University and UBC Sauder School of Business, Camille began her professional career in 2010 as a customer service representative at New Zealand’s Kiwibank, where she worked for two years before joining Australia’s Elite Physiotherapy. Prior to this, she spent several years working in hospitality from barista to line cook.


After moving to Canada, Camille held roles at Vancouver Coastal Health and the Canadian Alliance of Physical Therapists, as well as a startup consultant position at Entrepreneurship @ University of British Columbia, where she has also worked as a volunteer mentor. Other volunteer roles held by Camille include positions at Vancouver General Hospital and Coastal Church. 


Camille joined Valhalla Private Capital in January 2020, bringing more than a decade of experience in the innovation and healthcare industries to the table.


Following the birth of her son Julian, Camille launched First Course Foods - a baby food company designed for babies aged six months and above.


Speaking of her shift from angel investor to entrepreneur, Camille explained via Linkedin: “The support from the Vancouver food community has been incredible, and I've been able to connect with some supportive and wise folks who have been generous with their advice.”


We wish Camille all the best in her future endeavors.

Workers Call for Pay Transparency

By Emmet McGonagle • 29 Nov, 2023
More than half of workers believe that disclosing worker compensation details on job postings will lead to better equality in pay, according to the latest iteration of LinkedIn’s Workforce Confidence Index . The index - which is based on a survey of 3,302 members in Canada between June and September 2023 - found that 52% of people asked felt that people sharing their pay information (including salary and bonus) would improve workplace equality, compared to 48% in 2022. This number varies between different generations, with younger Canadians more likely to express support for pay transparency (73%), followed by 69% of Millennials, 46% of Gen X and 44% of Baby Boomers. However, 37% of those surveyed remarked that they felt anxious about sharing their pay information - a 2% rise from the year prior. Likewise, just under half (49%) said they felt well compensated for the work they do while 74% expressed that the pay gap between CEOs and employees had become too wide. The people of LinkedIn have come out in their dozens to give their two cents on the topic, with Adrienne Tom , executive resume writer for executives, saying: “ I'm all for salary transparency, so long as the number is clear and legit. Some postings list salary ranges so wide that the actual salary number isn't entirely clear, leaving job seekers confused.” “If you have a manager who is not advocating for the pay gap, you are working for the wrong manager,” remarked career strategist Sweta Regmi , while noting that women in Ontario earn an average of $0.87 for every dollar earned by men. On the topic, she added: “Salary ranges with job postings can help close the gender pay gap while allowing companies to find qualified candidates more quickly.” Do you have a question about angel investing?
