How Christopher is building a better working world
“Everything we do at work and in our community is a chance to build a better working world. From helping a global organization rethink how they bring people together to collaborate and spark innovation, to serving on the board of Margaret’s Housing and Community Support Services in Toronto, to engaging with entrepreneurs at every stage of the growth journey and mentoring professionals across multiple industries, I see possibilities to contribute everywhere and I seize those opportunities to make positive change.”
