Hi there!

I'm Joanne  — founder of Jo Co Bureau. I've spent years supporting founders, executives, and small but mighty teams. Through thoughtful, strategic, and hands-on support, I help businesses grow efficiently without unnecessary overhead. When resources are tight and goals are ambitious, I empower companies to move faster, operate smarter, and lead with confidence.

​

With a background in business operations, regulatory processes, and market expansion, I’ve worked alongside growing firms, global food brokers, consulting practices, social media marketers, and FinTechs to build the operational foundations they need to scale.

​

Before launching my consulting practice, I spent years in the pharmaceutical industry ensuring compliance with FDA and Health Canada regulations. That experience sharpened my attention to detail, strengthened my project coordination skills, and gave me a deep understanding of working in regulated environments — all of which inform my work today.

​

I thrive on building connections and creating partnerships that drive results. From helping clients connect with the right manufacturer or retailer to supporting the full go-to-market process — including branding, compliance, and operations — I’m passionate about bringing big ideas to life.

​

At my core, I'm here to make things easier, clearer, and more actionable. Whether I’m helping a founder plan their next move, coordinating lab testing for a new product, or pulling together a pitch-ready presentation under pressure — I bring calm, clarity, and momentum.

​

I’ve led research for product launches, managed complex compliance workflows, and implemented internal systems that actually work. If you’re expanding into Canada, tightening your operations, or simply need a trusted second brain — I’m ready when you are.
