I was asked to represent the “next generation of men” at the All Male Panel at Beyond Pink, an annual conference hosted by Young Women in Business (YWiB). It was a true honour to speak beside these great gents:
- Bob Elton: CEO, BC Hydro
- Mike Desjardins: Driver (CEO), ViRTUS – @mikedesjardins
- Chris Flett: Founder, Ghost CEO – @ghostceo
- Jason Pires: Weekend Sportscaster, CTV News
- Cameron Herold: Founder, Backpocket COO – @CameronHerold
We spoke about our interpretations of feminism, the “old boys club,” assertive (and aggressive) women in our offices, and other issues facing women (young and old) in our respective industries. While our opinions on each topic drastically varied, we all walked away with one common thread – we’d all hire a woman over a man any day.
