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.
See the full list of recipient profiles here and be sure to check out photos of the 2019 gala here.

Biggest influences: My mom for giving her life to grow and nurture the core of who I am. My dad for his excitement and unending support for my career and development. Peter Halsall for creating an amazing place to work (Halsall Associates) for my first career. 

Most important lesson I’ve learned in business: Emotions cloud rational judgment; stick to the facts and don’t let personalities affect the logic (or a good night’s sleep).

First job: Paperboy with lots of help from dad – he would push the papers and phone books in a wheelbarrow and I’d run them to the houses.

Advice I’d give the younger me: Life is about the moments, not the goals.

Favourite pastime: Spending a quiet Saturday morning with my kids playing Lego in jammies.

I’m currently reading: The BFG by Roald Dahl (with my eight-year-old daughter)
