In this episode, I chat with John Ruffolo, Founder, OMERS Ventures and Co-Founder – Council of Canadian Innovators.
John Ruffolo name is synonymous with possibilities and the new economy. I first met John when I moderated a panel in support of our mutual friend Chitra Anand and her incredible book the Greenhouse Approach.
John was the CEO of OMERS Ventures. Today John is the co-founder and Vice-Chair of the Council of Canadian Innovators | Conseil Canadien des Innovateurs, on the Board of Communitech, Ontario Centres of Excellence. The Next Big Thing and Vice-Chair of the David Suzuki Foundation. John’s opinions are sought across the for-profit, and public sectors.
I am a massive fan of John’s brain, his passion for Canada, and the fact that he pulls no punches. He tells it like it is.
In this ten minute chat, John and I talk about a Post-COVID economy and who will be the winners, education, innovation, and what will it take to set this incredible country Canada, up for future success.
