Our people

Driven by purpose

Everyone who works at Modo shares in our work to achieve our purpose - the means by which we impact our communities through sustainable transportation.

Our purpose is simple — to transform communities by connecting people and places in a way that is affordable, convenient, inclusive and sustainable.

Work with Modo

Modo's team is as diverse as the communities we serve, but we are all united by one goal — to make a difference in the lives of our members and in the places where we live and work.

We do this by helping people free themselves from the constraints of car ownership, by redefining what it means to get around and by raising our voices for healthier and more sustainable communities.

While we aim to grow our business, we are driven by people, not profit. Our Board of Directors are elected during the voting period preceding our Annual General Meeting to represent the interest of the cooperative and our members.

Through the Board, our members actively participate in setting strategic direction and making decisions. Thanks to this lean structure, we are able to innovate and create solutions that meet the needs of the Modo community.

Rochelle Grayson

Director

I am a dynamic business leader with 30+ years in technology, strategic transformation, and entrepreneurship. An early shared-mobility adopter and e-bike enthusiast, I’ve been a proud Modo member for 21 years, an active voice in Vancouver’s mobility ecosystem, and also serve on movmi’s Board. I excel in board governance, financial oversight, and risk management, guiding organizations toward sustainable growth and community impact. Recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women and a Vancouver Top Forty Under 40, I hold an MBA in Finance from the University of Chicago. Passionate about community, innovation, and AI, I bring a forward-thinking lens to Modo’s cooperative mission.

Sandra Phillips

CEO

"As Modo’s CEO, I guide our co-operative through its next chapter of evolution in building a sustainable, inclusive future where shared vehicles strengthen our communities. With over 15 years at the intersection of transportation, technology, behavioural insights, and social impact, I’m passionate about making shared mobility appeal to more people—reducing the barriers of ownership, because physical mobility opens the door to social mobility. I’m proud to lead a co-operative that has been shaping how British Columbians move for nearly three decades. I live in Sechelt with my family, our young daughter, and our spirited puppy."

Erin Sullivan

Director of Operations

"I’ve spent more than a decade working in shared mobility, and that experience has shown me that carsharing is about far more than just cars. At Modo, my work is centered on creating systems and practices that reduce environmental impact and make sustainable choices easier to access. Looking ahead, I envision a future for BC transportation where mobility is convenient, seamlessly integrates different ways of getting around, and is not only accessible to those who need it but also compelling enough for people to choose sharing over owning."

Frederika Renaud

Director of People & Culture

"With nearly 20 years of experience in HR and education, I lead People & Culture at Modo, bringing a people-first approach to building an inclusive, purpose-driven workplace where individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. I believe in leading with empathy, fostering a culture of kindness, and aligning people practices with long-term organizational impact."

Jane Hope

Director of Marketing & Communications

"I’ve spent 20 years building marketing strategies that work hard to deliver growth and sustainable impact. I believe in great stories, strong data and putting people and planet first. When I’m not at work, I love getting out to enjoy arts and culture and spending time reading, running and doing yoga. I am staff to East Vancouver’s most spoiled cat."

Kenneth Fung

Director of Technology

"I lead Modo's Product & Technology team, bringing over a decade of experience in software development and systems architecture. My focus is on delivering reliable, intuitive solutions that keep our members connected and our operations running smoothly. I'm driven by the possibilities technology brings to shared mobility and the integration that it enables. If I'm not in front of a computer, you'll find me skiing or hiking in BC's beautiful outdoors, or at home enjoying board and card games whenever the weather is not so agreeable."

Lia Palumbo
