Team

We are a group of passionate pet people with a track record of success in pet care, technology and business.

Our Founder & CEO

Kerri-Lynn McAllister is an entrepreneur, specializing in technology and digital marketing. With over a decade of experience building online marketplaces, she's passionate about helping Canadians make better purchasing decisions by gaining access to qualified information. She was a founding team member of Ratehub.ca, Canada's leading financial product comparison website, and was most recently Chief Marketing Officer for Lift & Co., a publicly-traded legal cannabis review and comparison platform.

Now, Kerri-Lynn is combining her love of marketplace technology with her love of animals. Her two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels inspired Kerri-Lynn to build Pawzy and to connect modern pet parents to the best advice and services.

A graduate of the Smith School of Business at Queen's University, Kerri-Lynn supports the pet care and tech communities. She's a Lean In Canada mentor, and in addition to pledging 1% of Pawzy's equity to animal charities, Kerri-Lynn has pledged an additional 5% of her personal equity holding to women in tech initiatives through the Upside Foundation.
