The Capital Elle Business Impact Award exists because access changes outcomes. Our award partners are part of how that access gets built.
Today we're introducing you to one of them. She's also one of our own.
Eleven years of keeping things running
Erin Johnston has been with TBXI for 11 years. Today, she's the company's Director of Administration, leading the administrative team and working closely with every department.
Her role sits at the centre of the business. Erin makes sure information flows accurately and efficiently through TBXI's systems. As technology continues to evolve, she adapts the company's processes to support new tools and innovations, and she enjoys seeing how emerging technologies reshape the way people work.
Her goal is straightforward: operations that run smoothly, in support of an exceptional customer experience and a positive, engaged workplace.

A local approach
What sets TBXI apart is how close it stays to the communities it serves. As a community-rooted organization, TBXI prioritizes strong relationships, responsive service, and solutions built for the unique needs of Northern businesses. There's no one-size-fits-all package. Every solution is designed around each client's goals and long-term success.
That commitment extends beyond client work. TBXI actively supports local initiatives, events, and organizations, because strong businesses help build strong, connected communities.
Why this matters for women founders
Growth puts pressure on systems. The processes that work for a small team often break as a business scales. Reliable technology and smooth operations aren't glamorous, but they're part of what makes a business resilient, efficient, and ready for its next stage.
Why TBXI is an Award Partner
TBXI joined the 2026 Capital Elle Business Impact Award as a Community Partner because the program aligns closely with who they are as a company.
The award supports Canadian women entrepreneurs by increasing access to funding, visibility, and business resources. For TBXI, those are the areas most critical to growth. As a community-driven organization, they wanted to contribute to a program that doesn't just recognize women entrepreneurs, but actively helps give them the tools and support they need to thrive.
