The Remarkable Journey from Soviet Union to Global Leadership
Meet Natalie Runoff, a woman whose journey from the Soviet Union to global business leadership is as fascinating as it is inspiring. With a background spanning multiple cultures, countries, and industries, Natalie’s story is a true testament to resilience, innovation, and the unstoppable human spirit. Mastering Numbers and People At just 19, in the wake of the Soviet Union’s dissolution, Natalie co-founded a hi-tech business with her future husband. As their business grew, so did Natalie’s passion for learning. She dove into studies in business, finance, and HR, earning degrees that made
her a master of both numbers and people. A New Chapter in Canada After moving to Canada and becoming a mother, Natalie faced new challenges. Juggling motherhood with managing a rapidly growing business taught her the power of reinvention. She realized that leadership isn’t just about technical know-how—it’s about truly understanding people. The Birth of B.L.E.N.D. Balancing a booming business with family life inspired Natalie to create B.L.E.N.D., an innovative system designed to weave diverse life experiences into one seamless tapestry.
