Our leadership team

Erin Bury

Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer

Erin is passionate about making end-of-life planning easier to talk about—and easier to do.

When she’s not leading the team, you’ll find her with her husband (and co-founder!) Kevin and their two daughters, or doing one of her three favourite things: reading, eating pizza, or convincing Kevin to get a dog.

Kevin Oulds

Co-Founder & Head of Research & Innovation

Kevin helps shape Willful’s long-term vision and dreams up innovative ways to make estate planning simpler and more accessible.

When he’s not advocating for legal tech or pushing for digital-first laws, Kevin enjoys golfing, home renovations, traveling with his family, and resisting getting a pet dog.

Dave Haber

Chief Revenue Officer

Dave works with an incredible team across marketing, partnerships, and sales to help more Canadians discover how simple and affordable it is to create a legal will online.

Outside of work, Dave golfs (badly), chops wood (enthusiastically), hangs out with his wife and their two dogs (adoringly), and believes no meal is complete without dessert—preferably two.
