Lead Writer and Researcher (2008)
As the lead writer on this book I worked with authors Leonard Brody and David Raffa on pulling together the background research, interviews and writing for eight profiles on Canadian entrepreneurs who shared their insights for success. I profiled:
- Issy Sharp (CEO, Four Seasons)
- Graydon Carter (Editor in Chief Vanity Fair)
- Don Tapscott (Chairman, Ngenera), John Assaraf (CEO, One Coach)
- Stuart Butterfield (Founder, FlickR)
- Garrett Camp (Founder, Stumble Upon)
- Debbie Landa (Founder, DealMaker Media)
- Craig Kielburger (Founder, Free the Children.)
About the Book:
How does a business achieve prosperity in one of the most challenging market environments in history? Everything I Needed to Know About Business…I Learned From a Canadian offers first-hand insights, experience, and best practices from 15 business leaders…all of whom just happen to be Canadian. These 15 have all achieved excellence in a particular area of business, at home and on the world stage (e.g., Jim Pattison; Leonard Asper, CanWest Global; Terry McBride, Nettwerk Music; Leslie Dan, Founder of Novopharm; Rob McEwen, CEO of GoldCorp; Joel Cohen, Producer of The Simpsons). Each chapter is enhanced by profiles and stories of leaders and entrepreneurs who have been there and done it all, imparting business wisdom and management insights that will be entertaining as well as instructive.
