Biography
I manage a group of editors, writers, columnists and contributing professors, and I oversee multimedia productions, including videos, live blogs, and Google+ Hangouts.
I am actively involved in running our social media properties on Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Pinterest. I also contribute to a daily blog, and produce a weekly e-mail newsletter.
My goal is to make Report on Small Business the country's most important destination for readers seeking news and compelling stories on Canada's small-business community, which continues to grow in size and influence. I run several event series designed to inform and inspire entrepreneurs.
