Meet Lace, the mastermind behind the sugary wonders at The Cookie Collective.

With over $700 million worth of assets under her watchful eye, she's the ultimate spreadsheet guru and the queen of strategic coordination.
But when the sun sets and the oven preheats, Lace transforms into the chief sugar lover extraordinaire. The Cookie Collective was born out of her creative impulses a few years ago, and little did she know that her delectable cookies, cakes, and cupcakes would take the world by storm. It's been quite a journey from those humble beginnings, with Lace and her team crafting their own signature style and mouthwatering products.

She chairs and participates in numerous outcome-focused internal committees and working groups, wowing the executive team and councillors with her presentations and strategic know-how.

But let's not forget her true passion lies in creating edible works of art. With every swirl of frosting and a sprinkle of magic, Lace spreads joy and sweetness to all those lucky enough to taste her creations. Her infectious enthusiasm and light-hearted humour make every bite even more delightful.
So, whether she's crunching numbers or whipping up a batch of perfection, Lace is a force to be reckoned with.
