Why VIDA Consulting?

We’re not just consultants. We’re career partners, talent strategists, and people-first problem solvers. VIDA combines deep HR expertise, global experience, and cultural intelligence to support professionals, startups, and growing companies.

Founded by Marina Dantas, a Brazilian Organizational Psychologist living in Toronto since 2013, "VIDA" means "LIFE" in Portuguese and Spanish and it was built on values of empathy, inclusion, and high-quality delivery & execution. With over 19 years in HR and Talent across Canada, LATAM, and Europe, we understand people, business, and what it takes to succeed in both.

What sets us apart? This isn’t a side project — this is our full-time job.

We are fully committed to our clients and the results speaks for itself.
