When did you become a member of the Mississauga Board of Trade?
I became a member of MBOT in the summer of 2017.
What’s your favourite aspect of MBOT?
I joined MBOT to connect with its fantastic community. Coming from a world of Automotive Manufacturing for 20+ years, I was well-versed with the Supply Chain but still felt like a stranger to the world outside Automotive. MBOT helped me get to know people in the community and what they do well in their respective professions.
What would you say to someone who is thinking about joining MBOT?
First, know your “Why.” Why are you joining your local board? I joined the board to get to know everyone around me. I wanted to find synergies with people I can resonate and connect with, make friends, and grow strategic partners relationships. It’s a great place to learn, be guided with information from various events and be part of committees where you meet like-minded people that will challenge you positively.
How has MBOT helped your business?
MBOT has become a wonderful platform for M2M and I. Personally, I enjoy connecting with other members; giving back to the community; chair committees and participate in events where I can add value. Professionally, via various events and MBOT gatherings, I have met other business owners that have turned into suppliers, strategic partners and our clients.
