Muthanna is an avid tennis fan and his limited skills are compensated by his love of the game. He has been a member of the OTC since 2009. When he is not on the courts, Muthanna is working to create a more prosperous and inclusive Canada. He is an entrepreneur and is Managing Partner for Artelli Inc. a boutique consulting company offering strategy execution and intelligent process automation solutions. Muthanna is also active in the community, having been a member of the OSCA board and Chair of the environmental organization 350Ottawa. Muthanna is hoping to help the club achieve the vision of its members. His own vision is to see OTC become a premier tennis facility and an integral part of the Ottawa landscape for decades to come. He dreams of one day walking into an OTC that boasts of not only having the finest facilities in the city but one that is also fiscally prosperous.
Megan has been a member of OTC for close to 8 years, and fully enjoys weekly lessons with Colin and the ladders. The sense of community, and friendly, open environment is what she loves most about the club (and the clay is better for her knees!). Megan has over 25 years of experience in global HR and operations in her day job, combined with multiple not for profit volunteering and board experiences. She also worked on the club’s last strategic plan. The things she cannot live without (besides tennis!) include her Kindle, her dog Cassidy, and fast cars.
Pierrette has been an active member of the OTC for over 20 years. Being a passionate tennis player, she has been able to share her enthusiasm for the club with many friends and family. Over the years, her family has participated in many of the summer programs offered, including swimming lessons and tennis camps. Recently retired from Canada Post, Pierrette is now able to leverage her extensive (over 30 years) financial management experience as an OTC volunteer board member. She is a CPA-CA who has gained a wealth of knowledge through diverse responsibilities such as, comptroller for a large corporate transformation, financial manager for real estate initiatives and treasurer for United Way campaigns. Pierrette has served as an administrative volunteer for the Mont Tremblant Ski Club and is currently the treasurer of a condo association. Pierrette is a proud Acadian from New Brunswick. She is a graduate of the University of Ottawa and has been living in the neighbouring community of Old Ottawa East with her husband and their two children for many years. During the summer months you will regularly find Pierrette at the OTC enjoying a spirited game of tennis with close friends. As an avid skier, the winter months are reserved for her second favorite sport!
