GainX: Accelerated Transformation

Being a strong change maker, Angelique works in this industry “because it’s ripe for change and in desperate need of change” so that she can add real value to society. Angelique elucidates that the world has entered a state of digital and economic transformation the like of which we’ve never experienced before and in which we are gravely unprepared. “Our entire global economy is going through a major shift. We’re moving towards a gig economy in which businesses must learn to do more with much less in house resources and a much larger external network”, shares Mohring. Additionally, the rapid pace of technological change creates challenges for large businesses reducing their lifetime and sometimes even kills them which have a profound economic impact. “We’ve all seen the impact of large companies suddenly becoming obsolete. Communities – local, national and internationally – suffer. Helping large scale organizations navigate the complexity of change with grace, ease and without incurring losses – is a huge motivation for us. Everyone wins”, adds Mohring.

In addition to spearheading GainX’s growth, Angelique is active politically to help the Individual understand why they matter in today's future, why and how Corporations must navigate the tsunami of change in the next decade, and the roles Governments must play in economic stability. Recognized by both Innovate Finance and Forbes as one of the most powerful women in Financial Services in the UK, Angelique is a sought-after speaker delivering over 200 speaking engagements in the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe, on topics that include AI and machine learning, the future of the FS, global cultural and digital transformation, the Future of Work, and uncovering the unspoken dependencies across economic and business ecosystems. Angelique is one of 9 female founders recognized by the PwC Scale program and is soon to be featured on the BBC. The Canadian and UK Trade Commissions recognized Angelique as an exceptional innovator. For the last four years, she has been nominated as one of Canada's most influential women in Tech. Angelique sits on several boards in Canada in business and government and has served as a board member with the Royal Bank of Scotland Innovation Gateway for three years. Angelique has collaborated with Nobel Prize Winner, Professor Muhammed Yunus, on making economic opportunities equally accessible to underprivileged women through micro-finance, globally. She has won several awards over the last decade for her volunteer work and her work in STEM. She also has another objective and is looking forward to investing in women-led businesses. “We must change the VC funding model! Only 1% of female founders in the UK got VC funding in 2018”, exclaims Mohring.

When Angelique is not fixing big problems, she can be found hiking along the Bruce and Grand River trails in Ontario with her playful – but gigantic - Black Lab, Bandit. She kicks-off her high-octane days watching the sunrise through early morning runs, doing Yoga, listening to audio books for work while traveling and unwinds after a long successful work day over a glass of wine.

But the moment that really changed the life of this ambitious entrepreneur was a moment of adventure. At age of 15 after a week of survival training, she was left to camp alone in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta Canada for two weeks - with nothing but a piece of string, a knife, and one match. “Having successfully navigated 20 miles of mountain and forest for two weeks – I knew I could go anywhere, adapt to any situation, and that anything was possible”, says Mohring boldly. She eventually turned this discovery into an asset. “I don’t see the world through disappointments or failures. It’s insanely exciting, beautiful and full of challenges and promise. There is always something new to try, explore, and that challenges me to grow”, says Mohring. Henceforth, the leadership team at GainX is the perfect balance of grit and passion. Each person is unique, diverse, full of brilliant insights and opinions. “If a member of the team can’t challenge the CEO’s ideas – they won’t last long in GainX”, affirms Mohring. As everyone is expected to contribute ideas, collaborate, and lead. “No one gets shamed for taking chances, making mistakes, asking questions, expressing new ideas”. Mohring carries on, “Our culture is in line with Ms. Frizzle on the Magic School Bus: ‘Take chances, get dirty, make mistakes.’ And, change the world....”
