The Peak has named our founder and CEO, Robin Petrogiannis, to its Emerging Leaders 2026 list in the entrepreneurship category — the publication’s annual roundup of Canada’s most promising young leaders.

Her listing reads in full:

Robin Petrogiannis is the founder and CEO of OurPwr, a women’s safety technology company that built the first full-solution safety app for women: proactive, predictive, and preventative. Robin’s path to founding OurPwr began at 17, when she experienced workplace harassment and searched for a solution that didn’t exist. Every app was a panic button, reactive, incomplete, and built without the real-world scenarios women actually face. That gap became her mission. A Montreal-based entrepreneur with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, Robin brings both technical rigour and lived experience to her work. She completed District 3’s programs, was selected for the M51 Founder Lab, and won the Gina Cody School Innovation Fund Award. She is also part of the League of Innovators. OurPwr is a full-solution approach, the only safety app built to protect women before, during, and after a dangerous situation, not just when it’s too late. Robin believes women already have the power. OurPwr makes sure they can always use it.
