Virtual Gurus founder Bobbie Racette is stepping down as CEO after eight years, becoming founder and president, while COO Elliot Schneier assumes the chief executive role.
Racette built the Calgary-based firm from a $300 concept into an award-winning virtual assistant marketplace, the first in Canada founded by an Indigenous woman to secure a Series A. She will focus on Purpose & Impact initiatives, enterprise partnerships, and brand expansion. Virtual Gurus also closed the first tranche of its next funding round and named Kelly Schmitt board chair. Schneier will advance growth and develop VG Connect.
