MEET OUR PEOPLE
Anita Elkaim
Senior Director, Human Resources
Anita has contributed her life to helping employers and employees balance the rigors of such an important department for close to 30 years.
Such was not always the case. A McGill graduate in Communications, Anita never envisioned that she would end up in human resources. Circumstances in her first job overlapped into HR and she realized how much she could make a difference.
Her family is her number one priority. A mother of two who is pleased with their path of success. She sees how her role as a mother and mentor has now paid off. Very Demanding on herself has now rubbed off onto her children. Her strength fueled by the obstacles life sent her way.
A cancer survivor for now 10 years (diagnosed at stage 4 and with a 5% chance of survival) her passion for work and helping people has not waivered. “You realize what you think mattered does not really matter and what didn’t matter does. It’s a journey of self-discovery, and you just don’t give up.”
Her hobbies include painting and she is very modest about it, but if you take a look you will see that she is extremely talented and a natural artist.
Her love of travel has brought her to many interesting places, recently including Iceland and trying extreme sports.
In closing take a moment to meet Anita. You will see a woman with strength of character, passionate, tough at times but is giving and compassionate.
A true asset to the Hypertec family.
