Each year, OBJ and the Ottawa Board of Trade choose 40 of the region’s top young entrepreneurs and business executives and recognize them for their professional achievements, expertise and community service.

 

In these profiles, OBJ highlights some of this year’s recipients – their impressive accomplishments, what drives them and how they like to spend their downtime away from the business world.

Biggest obstacle overcome: Pivoting and persevering through financial struggles, family obligations and self-doubt. 

Biggest influences: My parents. They have taught me the importance of hard work and sacrifice in reaching for your goals.

Most important lesson I’ve learned in business: There is no single path to success. In my first startup, we had many advisers and mentors, all of whom genuinely supported us. But some pushed us in opposing directions and shared advice that was strongly dependent on their own perspectives and experiences. It took a few years of testing, pivoting and constantly reinventing to understand that each entrepreneur’s journey is unique.

First job: Server at an ice cream shop
