How Ken is building a better working world

“I get excited about what we’re I’m hearing on client sites, at industry conferences, and through the work I do with one of Canada’s leading business schools. The conversations we’re driving are helping to create new perspectives, generate ideas, and drive growth. I’m proud of how that helps to move the working world forward, and I’m inspired by what I see in young people starting their careers today.”
