###

Bold Maya Ellison is the Director of Growth Partnerships at North Harbor Labs, a hybrid consultancy and venture lab that specializes in helping climate, fintech, and data‑infra startups scale ethically.

With a unique foundation in international policy and growth marketing, Maya bridges the gap between compliance, commerce, and creativity.

She has led over 50 partnership programs across North America and Europe, helping early-stage companies unlock strategic distribution while aligning with ESG targets and customer privacy expectations.

Her approach blends relationship-driven dealmaking with deeply technical integration strategy — creating go-to-market systems that fuel sustainable acquisition and long-term customer retention.

Known internally as a “human API,” Maya thrives at the intersection of teams, helping founders turn market fit into market power.

Outside of North Harbor, she restores wooden sailboats, runs a quarterly partnership audit circle for female founders, and guest lectures at the University of British Columbia on digital ecosystems and partnership design. She’s also a proud advocate for local craft industries and ethical supply chain reform.
