Ukraine, Spain, Montreal and Zoom Screens
This has been an eventful week for our team members across Canada and into Europe. Here are three highlights we thought You Should Know about:
Ukraine:Our amazing Sr. VP, Nicole Loghin (pictured below), who has been supporting our platform in Canada as well as helping our expansion into Europe from her family home in Mallorca, Spain, is stepping up and directly supporting the Ukrainian community by helping on the front lines and ensuring the safe passage for some of these affected families. We couldn’t be prouder of her as we believe that good business extends beyond our Peterson Capital computers and emails and helping in our various communities is a key element of that. This is leadership.
Montreal: Quick heads up that our very own Alexis de la Renaudière will be hosting a luncheon in Montreal at Bar George on Thursday, March 17th that you will not want to miss. In fact, our Chair, Rick Peterson, and CEO, Jennifer Langford, will be in attendance to meet our IA supporters.
Alexis will be hosting two of our most dynamic and compelling CEO storytellers to hear their insights into how they are both are growing their respective platforms organically and through a strong M&A pipeline. This could be billed as an M&A Masterclass by to formidable negotiators.
