He is supported by a team of executives, including Ben Morris, vice-president of technology strategies. Morris grew up in Kanata in the shadow of the community’s technology office towers.
Today, he has a diverse job that varies almost daily. On behalf of Wesley Clover portfolio companies, Morris deals with banks, investors, prospective clients and generally solves problems to help the portfolio thrive.
