Hello, here is Susanna (Svitlana) Shtanko, always busy, doing 100s things a day.

I have been a mentor from the school and through the whole life – love people and love helping people.

Have two diplomas with Honors, one in Fashion field and the 2nd is – University of Economics. 

Started business very early, my Ukrainian – Canadian joint venture was the second registered company in the country after the fall of the Soviet Union. I was a pioneer and a successful entrepreneur for all these years. 

Built the LONKAME Socks factory and have being running custom socks production for 30 years. Work with top brands worldwide and create our own successful socks brands: Loncame.com and Nordicwools.com also developed our patriotic street wear Koshasupply.

Love my home country but also very grateful Canada for being my home from the year 2000. Canada is a country with unlimited opportunities and it’s up to you how much you can explore and handle. I was feeling like I am missing European architectural beauty here, so invested in Improve Canada – iconic home renovation centre and established luxury decoration business – Luxtrim.com – accomplished 100s of successful projects with big recognition. Next step I grow Lux Trim to Real Estate business and grow from decorating to building amazing properties.

I love dealing with people and leading positive change. Large community with 450 businesses elected me to be the director of the board of this iconic Improve Canada centre, where I serve as a treasurer and brought honesty, transparency and many good changes. I am an active member of Ukrainian-Canadian Chamber of Commerce, also a member of Business Women Pro Canada– important organization for inspiring and personal growth.

I have my lovely family with twin-sons, love playing tennis, zumba, dancing, picking mushrooms, traveling, cooking and baking:)
