Founders & Leadership

Kelin Ainsworth, MBA

  • Serial entrepreneur turned strategist, Kelin built and successfully exited his first start-up before age 25. With a dual major in Marketing & Management from Lakehead University and an MBA (distinction), he now heads Mikel Consulting’s planning practice crafting investor-ready business plans, pitch decks and growth frameworks across industries. Kelin’s blend of big-picture vision and hands-on execution has helped founders secure millions in capital and gain critical approvals on tight timelines. Practical, energetic, and growth-obsessed, he’s the partner entrepreneurs call when they’re serious about scaling.

Mitch Fillman

  • Mitch turns complex business ideas into investor-grade numbers. A former BDO financial analyst with consulting experience for Lakehead University, he leads Mikel’s financial modeling and funding-strategy desk. Thousands of entrepreneurs have relied on Mitch’s models to raise capital, win bank loans and pass immigration scrutiny. Nationally recognised for excellence in accounting and business during his studies, he brings precision, clarity and real-world rigour to every engagement.

Dominika Fillman, MBA

  • Dominika has negotiated board-level deals on three continents, first at magic-circle law firm Clifford Chance and later at NASDAQ-listed Dentsply Sirona. Armed with a degree in International Relations (Metropolitan University Prague) and an MBA from Cambridge Business School, she now leads Mikel Consulting’s market expansion across Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. Fluent in cross-border strategy, B2B marketing and partner development, Dominika forges alliances that open new markets and fast-track client growth.
