What was your previous (or current other) career, training or background?

Founder, CEO, Fifth Town Artisan Cheese, Canada’s greenest dairy and 4th B Corp in Canada.

What change are you seeking to create through this initiative?

We believe that its not enough to have an innovative, socially responsibly made product or services, we have to fundamentally change business culture, and in particular small business culture, if what we want is a fair, inclusive and eco-just economy.

What does the concept of ‘the greater good’ mean to you?

It means challenging and dismantling capitalist, patriarchal, colonial and white supremacy-based systems that no longer serve us and that continue to leave out most. We need to create systems, cultural norms and ideas that centres flourishing for all beings—including the planet and all life upon it.
