Sandy is the Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer for Encorp Pacific (Canada), better known as Return-It. Last year, Return-It celebrated its 30th anniversary—an important milestone in British Columbia’s beverage container stewardship—and Sandy has been with the organization since day one.
In her role as CMO, she has been instrumental in driving the agency’s growth, leading marketing and communications initiatives that have elevated program awareness to an impressive 95%. Prior to joining Encorp Pacific in 1995, Sandy enjoyed a distinguished career in retail management, where she specialized in sales strategy, marketing and merchandising—expertise she still draws upon to understand and engage consumers.
A proud BCIT graduate with diplomas in Marketing and Business Administration, Sandy further enhanced her governance skills through the Institute of Corporate Directors at UBC’s program for Not-for-Profit Organizations. Her commitment to the sector extends beyond Return-It: she’s a past board member of the Recycling Council of BC and the Burnaby Board of Trade, served as President of the Ridge Meadows Recycling Society, and lent her expertise to the board of BC Technology for Learning.
