Francie Jain is the founder and CEO of Terawatt, a B2B coaching marketplace on a mission to make professional development scalable, affordable, and accessible across every level of an organization. With a career spanning hedge fund marketing, entrepreneurship, and leadership development, Francie brings a unique blend of strategic insight, business acumen, and deep commitment to human potential.

Before launching Terawatt, Francie founded Nxt Chptr, a community designed to support

individuals navigating career transitions. Her first venture, West River Partners, was a third-

party marketing consultancy through which she raised nearly half a billion dollars in institutional capital for emerging markets-based hedge funds.

Francie’s transition from high-stakes finance to human-centered development was sparked by a realization: high-achieving professionals often lack the coaching and support necessary at pivotal moments in their careers. Through Terawatt, she’s changing that narrative—empowering businesses to reduce turnover, improve performance, and build resilient teams through targeted group coaching and expert-led development.

A graduate of Princeton University (A.B.) and The University of Chicago Booth School of

Business (M.B.A.), Francie is passionate about reframing leadership, democratizing access to learning, and helping organizations invest wisely in their most valuable resource: their people.

Named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women and a 40 Under 40 awardee, Dr.JulieWilson is a nationally recognized physician-entrepreneur and the Founder & CEO of Terra Nova Medical Clinics—British Columbia’s largest and fastest-growing physician-led clinic network—and I’d love to propose her as a guest on [podcast name].

While many clinics shut down during the pandemic, Julie leaned in—scaling Terra Nova from one location serving 25,000 patients to seven thriving clinics that now care for over 50,000. She did it by building a culture where practitioners thrive, leadership is nurtured at every level, and operational excellence is fused with compassion.

Terra Nova’s impact has earned recognition like Best Workplace in Healthcare, Best Workplaces Managed by Women (2024), Outstanding Workplace of the Year (2022), and nominations for the Business Leadership Award, the Small BC Business Impact Award, and the People’s Choice Award.

Julie is still a full-time practicing doctor—while mentoring international medical graduates, shaping healthcare policy, and challenging outdated systems with a modern model of connected, tech-forward, people-first care. She’s redefining leadership in one of the toughest industries to scale and proving that purpose, profit, and people can all grow together.
