Maturn: Shifting the Narrative Around Maternity Leave in Canada

Co-founded by Sonja and Jen, Maturn aims to shift the narrative and support systems around maternity leave in Canada. Their signature program is the only comprehensive course in the country focused solely on the crucial transition to and from maternity leave. Maturn strives to reintegrate thousands of mothers into the workforce, fostering career advancement and leadership retention with greater support from employers, partners, and like-minded mothers.

Sonja Baikogli Foley: A Journey of Impact-Driven Leadership

Sonja Baikogli Foley, brings over 15 years of diverse experience in non-profit, public, and private organizations. Born to Iranian refugee parents in Sweden, her early life forged a commitment to impactful work. With an international education, Sonja’s career includes roles at the United Nations, serving on the YWCA Canada Board, being appointed to the West Vancouver Police Board, and more recently, leading the Intergovernmental Relations & Strategic Partnerships team at the City of Vancouver. As a proud mother of two, she co-founded Maturn to support women at the intersection of motherhood and leadership, driving gender equity. Additionally, as a DEI/AREI consultant, Sonja collaborates with organizations to address challenges, showcasing her enduring dedication to making a meaningful impact.

Jen Murtagh: A Frontrunner in Heart-Centered Leadership

Jen Murtagh, the co-founder of Maturn, brings over two decades of experience in both corporate and non-profit sectors. Her career has been guided by heart-centered leadership, leading and raising millions for national campaigns on anti-bullying, vulnerable youth, and gender equity. As an ICF-accredited leadership coach, Jen supports women through coaching, workshops, and her signature Brave Leadership for Women program. Recognized as a Business in Vancouver ‘Forty Under 40’ Award Winner and a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade ‘Women of Promise’, Jen is not only a successful leader but also a community champion who has volunteered thousands of hours for various charities. Co-creating Maturn was inspired by Jen’s desire to serve mothers in a deep and meaningful way while advancing gender equity.
