The People Behind the Work

Our Team

The passionate people behind StilwaterAI's human-first approach — fellow leaders who have done the homework and show up ready to help you do the same.

Meet Our Team

Jill Mitchell

Chief Talent Alchemist

Jill turns groups of talented humans into aligned, values-driven teams—with a level of enthusiasm that should probably be bottled. After 20+ years scaling startups, she's known for fixing messy people problems, coaching with integrity, and making culture actually matter. Whether she's building systems or just reminding everyone why they liked work in the first place, Jill has a knack for creating environments where people show up, grow, and maybe even have fun doing it.

Aaron Key

DreamForge Catalyst

Meet the guy who went from managing movie soundtracks to managing AI workflows—and, not surprisingly, both involve a lot of caffeine and creative problem-solving. At StilwaterAI, Aaron gets to indulge in his favourite pastime: being a professional problem-solver who makes people's workdays better (both in and out of the office). Aaron oversees AI workflow development for businesses who've all had that same moment: "there has to be a better way to do this."

Tanishq Sachdeva

Growth Marketing Catalyst

Currently studying Commerce at Queen's University, Tanishq focuses on understanding what people actually need and turning that into clear, relatable messaging. He helps drive adoption of AI solutions by making sure the right message reaches the right audience. Whether it's simplifying something complex or finding the right tone, he's all about making things click. Kind of like a point guard on the court—reading the play, setting it up, and delivering when it counts (minus the NBA contract… for now)

Jason Hurlbut

Chief Dreamweaver

As an early adopter with enough startup experience to fill several lifetimes (and at least three coffee loyalty cards), Jason specializes in translating AI jargon into plain English—sometimes even on the first try. His diverse background means he can turn complex tech into relatable stories, ensuring everyone leaves the conversation a little smarter (or at least a little more entertained).

Linda Hurlbut

Director—Learning Innovation

Linda helps build AI education that gets you. With a deep background in tech training and project management, she turns "we should really learn this" into "wow, we actually did." Her superpower: making complexity look organized and momentum feel inevitable.

Michael DeVenney

Behavioral Strategist

Michael helps leaders see what really drives performance—the people, their patterns, and the invisible friction that slows everything down. With a background in strategy, data analytics, and AI, he's spent his career turning workforce insights into growth (and saving more than a few teams from burnout along the way). At StilwaterAI, Michael brings a behavioral lens to AI adoption, making sure solutions don't just work on paper but actually work for people.

Kirsten H

Website Co-Developer

Kirsten persuades bolt.new into producing something that passes for a website. This requires equal parts stubbornness and diplomacy with a coding partner that doesn't care much for either. She has a background in words and tech, which occasionally proves useful, but mostly she just wants it to work. Miraculously, it often does—though not without the odd muttered negotiation.

How We Show Up

Our Culture

Collaboration First

We believe the best results come from working closely with our clients as true partners — not as a vendor delivering a report.

Continuous Learning

We use AI in our own operations and talk openly about what works. Our credibility is earned, not claimed.
