AECC, Global. Victoria Steele recently joined AECC as its director of partnerships, Canada. With a father who worked in sales and a mom who was a dedicated teacher, Victoria didn’t fall far from the tree in finding a true home in the international recruitment industry. After graduating from the University of Victoria, Tory moved to China for seven years, working in higher education and gaining her first exposure to the myriad of study abroad opportunities for students globally, specifically supporting articulation agreements with Australian universities. After completing her MA from McMaster University and returning to Canada, Tory quickly began working at the Goodman School of Business before moving into full-time international recruitment for Brock University at large, eventually as associate director, international market development. Working in the private sector from 2021, she then took up the role as director partnerships for Canada in March 2023.
