EDITOR'S NOTE BUYING GUIDE FOR BUSINESS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

A picture of Ottawa’s underlying economic strengths

he Book of Lists is one of OBJ’s most popular and well-established publications. But there was a sense of trepidation this year as we began the annual process of surveying thousands of local businesses and organizations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Layoffs, paused projects and a general sense of uncertainty were recurring themes in many of the conversations I was having with members of the local business community. What sort of picture would emerge when these companies were asked about the size of their workforce, the makeup of their client roster and their notable initiatives from the past year? As the survey responses started to arrive, the answer came into focus: Ottawa’s companies, by and large, are built for the long haul. Flip through the following pages and you’ll find companies that spent 2020 redefining entire industries. Others remain deeply embedded in global supply chains, while dozens more are delivering professional services to some of the planet’s largest enterprises. Powering these businesses are executives, engineers and other professionals leading teams filled with top-tier technical, marketing and creative talent. The pandemic may be disrupting Ottawa’s economy, but it’s failed to dislodge the solid foundation from which it draws its strength. Gastops CEO Shaun Horning – who is profiled alongside other leading local aerospace executives on page 36 – underscored his sector’s resilience in describing his outlook. “If you jump out of the industry because something like COVID-19 is going to slow you down for three or four years, then you’re not in the right industry,” he said. “We often talk to customers today about what they will need in 2030.” Of course, there are many businesses and entire industries that are hurting badly. Our list of the region’s largest hotels, which begins on page 47, lost several familiar names as some hospitality operators permanently closed their doors. Similarly, restrictions on large gatherings mean there are no lists this year of the largest festivals or well-attended tourist attractions – a reminder of the pandemic’s devastating and disproportionate impact on specific sectors and the individuals who work within those industries. COVID-19 will leave a permanent mark on Ottawa’s business landscape. For some individuals and companies, the recovery will take years. But the city will bounce back, thanks to the talents of its highly skilled workforce that will long outlast the pandemic.

What’s in Book of Lists On the following pages, readers will find detailed facts and figures on more than 600 companies, organized into dozens of economic sectors. Even in the age of Google, there’s no other resource that contains as much clearly organized information about the companies doing business in the nation’s capital. This publication is divided into five chapters that focus on the city’s key economic sectors. Each section opens with a page of facts and figures about a specific industry and is followed by a Who’s Who guide that introduces several of the sector’s top executives. As always, the rankings of the largest firms – broken down into more than two dozen industry categories – are the heart of the Book of Lists. The back of the Book of Lists looks at the largest government vendors (pages 74 and 75), the biggest construction projects (pages 76 and 77) and the highest-paid executives in the private and public sectors (pages 78 to 81). A full index appears on the following page. Credit where it’s due This publication is only possible with the cooperation of all the companies and organizations that responded to our requests for information. OBJ’s researcher, Lisa Thibodeau, spent countless hours sending out surveys, organizing the results and interviewing local executives. The Book of Lists is produced by OBJ graphic designers Tanya ConnollyHolmes and Celine Paquette. Thank you to all the businesses who support the Book of Lists, particularly our cover sponsor, Commissionaires Ottawa. This publication is also available for purchase in a digital format, with our databases organized in an Excel file at OBJ.ca. Whether you prefer the print or digital edition, the Book of Lists is an invaluable business directory, buyer’s guide and research tool that will be a versatile resource for your organization throughout the year.

Pierre-Paul Henrie Managing partner, Norton Rose Fulbright When Pierre-Paul Henrie was in high school, he never imagined that decades later he’d be a managing partner at one of Ottawa’s largest law firms. Henrie originally enrolled in the University of Ottawa’s biochemistry program in 1984, but after taking an economics course and seeing his older brother become a lawyer, he decided to earn an economics degree as well. After finishing law school in 1991, Henrie worked at Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall as well as Gowling Lafleur Henderson before arriving at Norton Rose Fulbright in 2003. His role involves mentoring younger associates, something Henrie believes is tied to the firm’s future success. “I’ve always taken the position that if you work as hard as possible, remain disciplined and treat people with respect, the odds are that you will succeed,” Henrie says. The firm has a commitment to giving back to the community and supports organizations such as The Shepherds of Good Hope, CHEO, the Children’s Aid Society and the Royal Ottawa Foundation. As a father of three, Henrie also volunteers to support the competitive cycling, diving and skiing clubs that his children are enrolled in.

Katherine Cooligan Partner, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP Ever since she was young, Katherine Cooligan knew she wanted to advocate for justice. “My parents used to say I would argue that black was white since the time I could speak,” she says. Cooligan joined Borden Ladner Gervais LLP in 2006 as the leader of its family law group before becoming regional managing partner of its Ottawa office in 2014. The approach she takes to her profession is to “leave no stone unturned, while still respecting everyone involved in the process.” Outside of work, Cooligan is an active board and executive member of the CHEO Foundation, which she calls her “greatest personal passion,” and also serves as chair of the philanthropic program Women for Mental Health at the Royal Ottawa Foundation. In 2019 she received the Order of the Good Bear from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the highest honour the hospital can bestow in thanks for her volunteer contributions. “As someone who has lived in Ottawa all my life and benefited greatly, I feel it’s a privilege to be able to give back to the community,” she says. Having recently finished her term as managing partner at Borden Ladner Gervais, Cooligan plans to focus on her family law practice and continue her community involvement.

Profiles of key partners at some of Ottawa’s largest law firms. See page 15 for the list of the sector’s largest companies. Profiles by Matt Horwood

Anthony McGlynn’s time working in retail while studying at university taught him the importance of good customer service and treating clients with respect – lessons that empowered him to excel in a legal career that’s spanned some three decades. McGlynn leads Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall’s personal legal needs practice as well as its estate planning and administration groups. He also remains active representing clients in a wide range of business law contexts, including non-profit corporations and charities. The firm has a tradition of community involvement, and McGlynn has served on several boards of directors, including a term as chair of the Greater Ottawa Chamber of Commerce (now the Ottawa Board of Trade). McGlynn has also taught at the University of Ottawa Law School and delivered the bar admission course for the Law Society of Upper Canada (now the Law Society of Ontario). He currently mentors some of the newer lawyers and summer students at the firm. McGlynn says he feels immense pride in how the firm has evolved over the years. “When I started, it had quite a strong base. But over almost 35 years we’ve taken it to a higher level, and now we’re a destination law firm for people in Ottawa and eastern Ontario looking for quality legal services,” he says.

Exceptional service begins with exceptional relationships

The best reason to choose BDO isn’t our service offerings, though they are among the most extensive in our industry. It isn’t our resources, though they are among the broadest in the world. It isn’t that we possess experience working with virtually every business sector in Canada, or that we offer the highest standards of technical excellence, though we do. Ultimately, the best reason to choose BDO comes down to the relationships we build with our clients and communities. Because at the end of the day, ours is a business of people working with, for, and in the service of others. And when you think about it that way, client service becomes more than just client service; it becomes a firm-wide dedication to helping the people we serve succeed—whatever they need, wherever they are, however we can. People helping people achieve their dreams. Assurance | Accounting | Tax | Advisory 613-739-8221 www.bdo.ca

Housing starts

Following a second-quarter slowdown amid the initial COVID-19 outbreak, Ottawa's residential real estate market quickly roared back to life. While year-to-date sales were still down slightly through the first three quarters of the year, sales soared over the summer and were up more than 50 per cent in September.

Despite the pandemic, Ottawa homebuilders were poised at the end of September to start construction on the highest number of new homes in more than a decade. Source: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

The impact of COVID-19 started to ripple through Ottawa's office market in the third quarter as vacancy rates started to climb. This was driven in large part by significant pockets of downtown sublet space being placed on the market. In contrast, the city's industrial market continued to record near-record-low vacancy rates.

Knapp is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the centre’s finances, administration, marketing, tenant relations, facilities and property management functions. Knapp says a key to success in managing retail real estate is acknowledging the everchanging market conditions and making room for agile and innovative approaches when dealing with tenants and customers. “Tenant mix plays a key role in mitigating the threat of vacancies, which is currently heightened by COVID-19,” she says.

Hugh Gorman

CEO, Colonnade BridgePort Hugh Gorman began his real estate career in Toronto at Oxford Properties Group in 1998. After a decade at the company, he decided to move to Ottawa and co-founded BridgePort Realty Capital Partners in 2008. “Coming from a large real estate company to a small entrepreneurial shop was challenging, exciting and probably the best decision I ever made,” he says. “We had to shift the way we thought about everything, roll up our sleeves and not be afraid to make things happen.” In 2016, the company merged with Colonnade to become the largest property manager in Ottawa. It now has more than 120 employees and 6.4 million square feet under management locally. Gorman has also served as president of BOMA Ottawa as well as BOMA Canada, and spent two years on the BOMA International Executive Committee.

Dave Wallace

Chief operating officer, Regional Group Dave Wallace says he is one of the rare executives who skipped post-secondary education and went straight into the workforce, becoming a stockbroker in San Francisco when he was just 22 years old. After the 2008 recession, Wallace moved to British Columbia to become the chief operating officer of real estate company Mibroc Group. “We only thought we’d be here four years, but Canada’s been very good to us so we haven’t had a reason to return,” he says. “Canada is now our home.” After working in several senior executive positions in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, Wallace joined Regional Group in 2016. Wallace holds dual positions as both the chief operating officer of Regional Group and president of the company’s eQ Homes division. Wallace says he sees the city of Ottawa as a gem. “I don’t think we do a good enough job of telling our own story of how great a place it is to live,” he says.

Shaun Horning

President and CEO, Gastops Shaun Horning joined Gastops right after receiving his bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from Carleton University in 1994. He’s held many positions over the years, including program manager for controls and simulations, vice-president of technical and engineering services, and now president and CEO. “As a young engineer I was lucky to be in a service-type role where I was working closely with customers,” he recalls. “I quickly understood how to chart the right path in meeting their expectations in terms of what they needed and when they needed it, and that boded well to taking on a program management and business development-type role.” Horning says it has become especially apparent in 2020 that the aerospace industry is a long game. “If you jump out of the industry because something like COVID-19 is going to slow you down for three or four years, then you’re not in the right industry,” he says. “We often talk to customers today about what they will need in 2030.” Outside of work, Horning keeps busy by coaching children’s hockey and softball.

John Jastremski

President and CEO, MDS Aero Support Corp. Music and solving complex problems have always been John Jastremski’s two biggest passions. He says that growing up on a farm helped him develop a solid work ethic while allowing him to spend a lot of time working with his hands – attributes that would later help him succeed at MDS. After earning a master’s degree in engineering at Carleton University, he landed a job at MDS. He spent many years in engineering, project management and business development at the company before becoming president and CEO in 2015. For Jastremski, helping others reach their full potential while communicating complex ideas comes naturally. “If you have a vision and can articulate it to get others to row in the same direction, that’s probably half the battle,” he says. Two key accomplishments of MDS include helping to bring cold weather aircraft engine certification to Canada, and being contracted to build the world’s largest experimental aircraft engine test facility. “We are so proud that a relatively small organization in Canada can be so dominant in the world of aviation testing,” he says. Outside of work, Jastremski sits on four not-for-profit and educational boards, and continues to play the guitar and sing in two bands. “I can’t see a world in which I wouldn’t have something to do with music,” he says.

WHO'S WHO

Profiles of key executives at some of the largest aerospace companies in Ottawa-Gatineau. See page 36 for a complete list of the industry’s largest businesses in the region. Profiles by Matt Horwood

Newfoundland native Gary Fudge enjoys seeing complicated and sophisticated projects come together – a major reason he’s been able to excel in a variety of positions at Lockheed Martin. He launched his career after graduating with a computer science degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1980, joining Lockheed Martin to help create software for Canada’s original patrol fleet. “I saw the ads in the newspaper at the time, and it sounded like a really interesting and challenging program that would be a good learning experience on a technical level,” he recalls. Over the course of his career, Fudge has been program director for the Halifax Class Modernization Program, upgrading the country’s frigates, as well as vice-president of Canadian Programs. He took on the role of general manager of Lockheed Martin Canada Rotary and Missions Systems in 2018, leading an organization of 650-plus employees working on a range of programs spanning the aerospace, defence and commercial sectors across Canada. What excites Fudge most about his job is seeing employees coming together to tackle large and complex projects. “You come into work every day with your inbox filled with problems needing to be solved. You always have a sense of accomplishment when you get everybody pulling in the right direction to get things on track. That’s the nature of the beast,” he says. OTTAWA BUSINESS JOURNAL obj.ca

SECTOR

SNAPSHOT

TOURISM

Few business sectors were hit as hard by measures aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19 as the tourism industry. Travel restrictions, the closure of major attractions and a lingering sense of uncertainty combined to dramatically reduce visitor numbers to Ottawa and other major destinations around the world. But behind the headline numbers are more nuanced narratives that show how this industry – typically regarded as the city’s third-largest, after government and tech – entered the pandemic from a position of strength and is positioning itself for a recovery.

Hotel occupancy

Air passengers

(January to September, year-over-year)

-50.4% While a dramatic decline in corporate and conference travel is still weighing down the hospitality industry, local hotels saw a sliver of hope over the summer with a surprising uptick in leisure travellers from nearby markets such as Montreal and the Greater Toronto Area. That helped to push occupancy rates in mid-July to around 20 per cent – more than double what they were in the spring, but still a long way from summer norms of about 80 per cent. The pandemic has already permanently altered Ottawa’s hospitality landscape, with at least two downtown hotels – the Albert at Bay and the Best Western Plus – closing permanently as their owners decided to convert the properties to rental apartments. However, some investors are still pushing ahead with plans for new hotels in the National Capital Region. The 122-room Wingate by Wyndham Kanata West Ottawa opened on Campeau Drive over the summer, while the proponents of a planned mixed-use development on Cyrville Road intend to include a hotel as part of their project.

-67.9%

The Ottawa International Airport soared to new heights in 2018, when more than 5.11 million passengers passed through its gates – a number the airport virtually matched in 2019. After setting record passenger numbers for the months of January and February to start 2020, the airport saw its numbers plummet in the spring. While domestic travel started to recover in the summer as carriers gradually reintroduced some flights, the 57,210 passengers in August was still down 85 per cent year over year. Early in the pandemic, credit rating agency Moody’s projected passenger volumes at the Ottawa airport will return to 2019 levels by the second quarter of 2021. However, airport officials said at the time they believed that forecast was optimistic and later predicted in June that it would be three to five years before passenger volumes return to pre-pandemic levels.

WHO'S WHO

Profiles of key executives at some of Ottawa-Gatineau’s largest hotels. See pages 47 and 48 for the full list of the region’s largest facilities. Profiles by Matt Horwood

General manager, Westin Ottawa and Delta Ottawa City Centre The bulk of Ross Meredith’s education has come not through a university degree, but through hard work at various hotels. “I rose through the ranks through a combination of delivering results, leading teams effectively and accomplishing goals the ownership groups and hotels have set out for me,” he says. Before arriving in Ottawa, Meredith worked in management positions at the Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire, the Westin Calgary and Westin Mission Hills Resort. In addition to serving as general manager at the Westin Ottawa – a position he’s held since 2014 – Meredith performs the same role at the Delta Ottawa City Centre, an additional job he assumed in late 2020. He says balancing the two positions requires the ability to set out a vision, engage with leadership teams and support them by removing any roadblocks. It also requires having fun along the way. “I tell my team, if we don’t laugh four times in a week and cry twice then we probably haven’t had a great week,” he says. “It can be hard and frustrating work, but at the same time we need to celebrate every success we have.” Despite a decline in occupancy rates at both hotels, Meredith is confident that synergies between the two hotels will allow for increased growth opportunities, especially when finding space for groups and events. Outside of work, Meredith is a board member of Ottawa Tourism and also serves as a director of the Christmas Cheer Foundation and the Ottawa Gatineau Hotel Association.

Valentina Gaca

General manager, Hilton Garden Inn As a hotel manager, you can never be sure what each day will bring. But that’s one of the things that makes the job enjoyable for Valentina Gaca. “When you walk into the hotel you never know what’s going to happen,” she says. “Every day is different, interesting and sometimes challenging.” The Serbia native earned a degree in English at the University of Novi Sad in 1990. Shortly after arriving in Canada in 1993, Gaca was hired to work in the rental office of Bona Building and Management, the company that owns Hilton Garden Inn. Gaca quickly rose through the ranks at the hotel, working first in reservations, then as reservations manager, assistant general manager and finally general manager. Gaca says she has a very open and friendly style of management. “My door is always open to employees, so they can come talk to me, ask questions or get help finding solutions. It is better to have many brains tackling one problem,” she says. Business at the Hilton Garden Inn has taken a hit due to the pandemic, which is why Gaca says it’s even more crucial for staff to be friendly to customers, keep rooms spotless and aim to solve problems quickly. Gaca says she spends her time outside of work driving her daughter to and from university, reading books and learning French and Spanish.

Rick Corcoran

General manager, Fairmont Château Laurier Rick Corcoran graduated from Institut de tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec in 1991, where he took a dual hotel management and culinary program. He served in many roles early in his career, including as catering manager, restaurant manager, director of food and beverage and executive assistant housekeeper. Corcoran has worked at Fairmont locations in La Malbaie, Lake Louise, Quebec City, Boston and San Francisco, but the highlight of his career was being general manager at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics. Corcoran has also travelled to Beijing and Dubai for his job. “I was paid to discover the world, meet new people and discover new ways of doing things. It was such an eye-opening experience,” he says. Corcoran became the general manager of the Fairmont Château Laurier in May 2019. Part of his management philosophy is that it’s impossible to do his job from behind a desk. “That’s not how you interact with and get feedback from guests and employees,” he says. “If you like dealing with people, then in this job you’ll have lots of it.” The Fairmont Château Laurier supports a variety of charities, such as the Ottawa Mission, Make-A-Wish Foundation and CHEO. Corcoran says he is a “musician at heart” and keeps a collection of old guitars in his home. “Having an outlet outside of work is important, and allows me to be refreshed and focused on my work,” he says.

Business confidence in the capital The Ottawa Business Journal, along with Welch LLP, Abacus Data and the Ottawa Board of Trade, undertakes an annual survey of hundreds of business leaders to gauge their confidence in the local economy. Ottawa's business confidence index dove deeply into negative territory in mid-2020, a dramatic reversal of the consistently positive outlook expressed by respondents each year since the survey was launched in 2013. But a sizable number of businesses nevertheless reported rising revenues and plans to recruit new employees, highlighting the uneven economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Andrea Steenbakkers Executive director, Barrhaven BIA Growing up in a politically active and civically-minded family in Barrhaven, Andrea Steenbakkers became involved in her community at a young age. After earning a degree in urban studies at Carleton University, Steenbakkers worked in e-business and information management services at Transport Canada and ICON Technical Group. She led the charge to create the Barrhaven BIA, which allowed her to “combine the skills I acquired early in my career with what I had studied at university,” while simultaneously giving back to her community. Steenbakkers says one of the primary areas of focus of the BIA is facilitating an environment that encourages long-term employment and growth through funding economic development research projects and fostering relationships with key stakeholders and elected officials. Steenbakkers also gives back to the community through her work as a board member of the Ottawa Council of Business Improvement Areas and the Ontario Business Improvement Area Association. She also serves as vicepresident of planning and development at the Havenlea-Chapman Mills Community Association. When she isn’t working, Steenbakkers can be found practising yoga. She also enjoys paddling with the women’s dragon boating team she created seven years ago.

Tannis Vine Executive director, Heart of Orléans BIA Tannis Vine grew up in a small town in Quebec, a place she says shares the same close-knit community feeling that she experiences every day as the head of the Heart of Orléans BIA. Vine spent 18 years working at Canada Post in various IT, financial and training positions, as well as nine years at Exit Realty Matrix as a sales representative. In 2016, Vine joined the Heart of Orléans BIA to work in member relations and marketing, and in 2019 she took over as the BIA’s executive director. “The combination of coming from a smaller town, and my experience at Canada Post with leadership, business improvement and budget management, led me to this BIA position,” she says. Vine says she is proud of the initiatives the BIA implemented in 2020, such as the BIA Faces of Business campaign highlighting the people behind some of the businesses who have endured challenges amid COVID-19. Vine says she thrives on serving the BIA's 350 member businesses. “I’m a small-town girl at heart, so my ideal world is filled with innovative, close-knit communities of small businesses, with everybody looking out for each other,” she says.

Profiles of the key executives at some of the largest business improvement areas in Ottawa. See page 72 for the full list. Profiles by Matt Horwood

President and executive director, Kanata North BA After graduating from the University of Ottawa with a communications and psychology degree in 2011, Jamie Petten joined the SPA Group of Companies to help it launch a boutique spa in Jamaica. After being part of the team that founded Kanata’s L-Spark SaaS accelerator in 2014 and serving as its director of marketing, she developed a passion for the technology ecosystem. This led her to “take a leap of faith” and become the president and executive director of the Kanata North Business Association in 2018. Petten says she is focused primarily on helping the organization’s more than 500 member businesses adapt and remain resilient in the face of the pandemic. This includes programs such as the business association’s COVID Resilience Fund, which was launched in April to financially support small business owners. “It’s important to me that as we go through this challenging period we all adapt our operations and remain supportive,” she says. Petten spent two years as a mentor in the Technovation Ottawa program, and currently contributes to the Royal Ottawa Foundation and is on the board of the Leaders for Mental Health Breakfast. “The community we are creating is really important to me because I live here, and I know my kids will be benefiting from the work we do in the future,” she says.

2020 FORTY UNDER 40 (LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

Solon Angel

Josée Brisson

38, founder, MindBridge Ai

39, owner, The Co-operators – Josée Brisson Insurances

When your company is mentioned in the same breath as Airbnb, Google and Spotify, you know you’ve made it. That’s what Solon Angel accomplished with MindBridge Ai. The firm makes fraud-detection software that can read years of audit reports in a fraction of the time it would take a human. MindBridge’s technology quickly captured the attention of major financial institutions such as the Bank of England and more than 300 other customers.

Josée Brisson took on a new challenge in 2016: Founding her own insurance company. With no prior experience in the field, Brisson took over a stagnant business and brought it back to life, increasing the branch's revenues by over 100 per cent in just four years. Brisson has expanded the business to six employees and is ranked among the franchise’s top 10 agencies in Canada.

Graeme Barlow

David Coyle

31, CEO, Iversoft Graeme Barlow has steered Iversoft through not one but two key pivots. As chief marketing officer from 2016-19, the serial entrepreneur played an integral role in the fast-growing company’s shift from primarily an app and website developer to a “one-stop shop” that also offered a range of digital marketing services. Along the way, the firm acquired two companies, quadrupled its headcount to 40 employees and consistently achieved triple-digit annual revenue growth.

Tara Barnes 38, vice-president of marketing, Manitobah Mukluks Tara Barnes has grown Manitobah Mukluks’ national recognition and elevated Indigenous voices in the community. She was instrumental in launching the brand 10 years ago, creating a stronger online presence for the business. In 2019, Barnes spearheaded a new sales strategy, establishing pop-up retail stores and offering a new shopping experience. Barnes’ approach also allowed the company to hire more than 100 new part-time staff, 80 per cent of whom are Indigenous.

Brandon Bignell 36, vice-president and regional leader, BDO Canada LLP Brandon Bignell’s career started in the public sector, where he served in multiple roles, including a special adviser to the First Nations-Crown Joint Task Force on Economic Development. He joined BDO in 2016. The move from the public sector to the private sector came with learning curves, namely conducting business development and sales. Despite entering the role having never sold anything before, Bignell was named regional sales leader after only a year.

Erin Blaskie 37, director of marketing, Fellow Erin Blaskie’s impact on Ottawa’s tech community was illustrated by the outpouring of support she received after announcing she was leaving her job as marketing director with accelerator L-Spark for a similar role at startup Fellow. Part of her new job is building a network of managers to share best practices through multimedia projects – skills Blaskie demonstrated in abundance at L-Spark and the business she ran for 14 years before that.

39, district building systems manager, PCL Constructors Canada In 2009, a tragic explosion damaged the Cliff Central Heating and Cooling Plant, crippling the ability to heat approximately 50 downtown buildings. A temporary facility was quickly constructed near the Supreme Court. David Coyle was part of the leadership team that developed the conceptual layout, schedule and planning as well as site supervision. With teams working 24/7, the temporary facility was successfully commissioned within 37 days.

Neha D'Souza 34, chief operating officer, Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP Neha D'Souza climbed the ranks of PerleyRobertson, Hill & McDougall LLP, starting as a law clerk and rising to HR manager before being named the firm’s first chief operating officer. Alongside participating in the strategic direction of the firm, D'Souza manages and oversees the firm's day-to-day marketing and business development efforts. She’s also overseen a complete IT systems transformation that included a migration to cloud services and outsourcing day-to-day IT service management.

Ricardo Evangelho 33, owner, Hit Point Press After leaving Arctic Leaf, a startup he cofounded, Ricardo Evangelho leaned into his passion and sold a few hundred dollars worth of Magic: The Gathering cards to fund an idea for gaming and role play accessories. He used crowdfunding websites as a marketing tool, landing more than $1 million in pre-sales. He grew Hit Point Press from one employee to six staff members operating out of a nearly 7,000-square-foot warehouse space.

Brad Ezard 33, chief operating officer, Keynote Group Since joining Keynote Group, Brad Ezard has elevated the company’s business profile and unlocked new revenue streams. Hailing from Latham & Watkins LLP, where he advised on multimillion-dollar mergers and acquisitions, and MCA Dental Group, Ezard joined Keynote Group and overhauled the Ottawa-based recruitment firm’s operations. Within the first three months, he implemented a full restructuring of the business, which resulted in an increase in profits of more than 100 per cent.

2020 FORTY UNDER 40 (LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

Justin Ferns

Shan Gu

38, vice-president, Iron Horse Security & Investigations

39, CEO, Foci Solutions

Nearly 20 years ago, Justin Ferns started his career at Iron Horse Security & Investigations as a security guard straight out of university. Today, Ferns sits as vice-president. Working his way up the ranks, Ferns played an integral role in the growth of the business, nearly doubling the company’s revenues through new business partnerships and contracts. As vice-president, he now oversees nearly 1,800 staff and supervises the daily operations.

Shan Gu has built Foci Solutions into a tech consulting powerhouse. Since founding the company in 2015, he has inked lucrative multi-year contracts with several federal agencies, cannabis producer Hexo as well as an international internet security firm. Under Gu’s guidance, Foci Solutions has grown its revenues by an average of 40 per cent annually and tripled its net income in the last year.

Nathan Hall 35, CEO, Simple Story

Jeremy Francis 39, chief operating officer, Rebel.ca In less than five years, Jeremy Francis has helped transform a company that was barely breaking even into a money-making enterprise – achieving the web-hosting firm and domain name registrar’s goal of turning a profit within five years two years ahead of schedule. In the words of Rebel.ca marketing director Taryn Manias, Francis is the guy “doing the real gritty work” that’s fuelled the firm’s recent run of success.

Alex Gray

After more than a decade with various Ottawa IT, e-commerce and software companies, Nathan Hall took the helm of Simple Story. The company was bleeding cash, suffering from a “toxic” work culture and losing clients. He rebuilt the company from the ground up, overhauling its marketing, sales, finance and product management teams while securing new financing and negotiating deals to provide video for local tech conferences such as SaaS North and AccelerateOTT.

Amanda Holtstrom 39, marketing product manager - Dashboard, Ross Video

36, corporate controller, Fullscript Being in charge of a company’s financial processes is never an easy job, but doing it at one of Ottawa’s fastest-growing enterprises poses even more of a challenge. But that’s exactly what Alex Gray has done, rolling out new finance and accounting processes and shaping key financing systems. The company has grown from 20 employees to more than 350 over the past several years.

Jessica Greenberg 37, vice-president of asset management, Osgoode Properties Overseeing a North American residential property portfolio that includes approximately 5,000 homes across several cities, Jessica Greenberg has played a key role in helping Osgoode Properties grow. She was part of the corporate team that executed recent acquisitions of hundreds of rental units in Ottawa as well as Georgia. Greenberg subsequently helped manage the repositioning and pricing strategy of the newly acquired properties, increasing revenues and valuations.

André Grzela

OTTAWA BUSINESS JOURNAL obj.ca

As an engineer who also earned a degree in English literature, Amanda Holtstrom has always been fascinated by how people interact with technology. At Ross, Holtstrom helps ensure that the firm’s technicians and developers can communicate effectively with each other via a platform called Dashboard that allows one person to manage various software systems, often for an entire stadium.

Ashley Hopkins 36, president and CEO, Paradigm Properties Ashley Hopkins worked her way up from a temporary administrative assistant at an Ottawa property management firm to become the company’s CEO. A key turning point came when Paradigm Properties’ then-owner decided it was time to retire and wind down the business. Those plans changed when Hopkins negotiated a deal to keep the company running and purchase it several years later. Hopkins restructured the business and achieved significant year-over-year revenue growth.

Katharine Im-Jenkins

34, owner, Beachcombers Hot Tubs

35, chief programs officer, World University Services Canada

When André Grzela made the decision to leave a career in municipal politics and start his own business, he jumped in feet-first. Within three years, Grzela’s firm was recognized for its rapid growth and received the exclusive rights to sell Beachcomber hot tubs in Ottawa. With business booming, he expanded the store in 2019 and added gazebos, woodfire grills and a full turnkey delivery and installation service to its offerings.

Having worked for World University Services Canada for more than a decade, Katharine ImJenkins has navigated many hurdles, including increased terrorist activity in the organization’s partner regions, changes in local government and foreign policy as well as COVID-19. She designed and renewed countless fundraising contracts, resulting in millions of dollars of new revenue for WUSC in the last five years that enabled the organization to expand to more than 300 employees worldwide.

THE LIST

2020 FORTY UNDER 40 (LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

Chase Irwin

Daniel Mackinnon

37, partner, Dentons Canada

39, partner, Blackbook Lifestyle

Chase Irwin has had a hand in the launch and growth of many tech firms across Canada. Irwin joined Dentons as an associate in 2015 and was promoted to partner at the earliest possible eligibility. His track record in closing a high volume of deals inspired Irwin to develop a new dealtracking program for his venture technology and emerging growth companies group in Ottawa that was later expanded across Dentons’ six Canadian offices.

Daniel Mackinnon is no stranger to starting a business. After spearheading his own national magazine, he went on to co-found Blackbook Lifestyle, a boutique marketing and events company that works with some of the city’s most recognizable names. Since the company’s inception in 2010, Mackinnon has worked closely with brands such as Bayshore Shopping Centre, OSEG and the JUNO Awards, helping to grow his company’s prestige.

Bree Jamieson-Holloway 34, founder and CEO, Jamieson Law After putting herself through university and law school, Bree Jamieson-Holloway became an international corporate finance lawyer working in London and Hong Kong. However, the demands of her job resulted in burnout and a recognition of the importance of self-care. Upon returning to Canada, JamiesonHolloway joined Momentum Law and became a partner. In late 2018, she launched Jamieson Law, a boutique corporate law firm, and single-handedly grew the company organically through word-of-mouth and network referrals.

Simon Lavigne

Hesam Mahdavi 36, co-founder and chief technology officer, Zodiac Light Waves When Hesam Mahdavi came to Canada at age 14, he could barely speak a word of English. But barely three years later, he’d launched a tutoring business that paid for his first year of university. After graduating, Mahdavi joined the family business, Zodiac Light Waves. He spearheaded a major new direction for the firm, transforming a company that installed security camera systems into a major provider of IT managed services for the health-care industry.

38, partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Simon Lavigne climbed his way up the public accounting firm ladder from junior auditor to senior manager before he turned 28, later becoming an assurance partner at PwC. Lavigne leads a team within the federal government that reviews all departmental key controls and document processes in addition to providing recommendations to improve processes. Lavigne actively works to support the careers of young professionals both within PwC and outside the firm.

Anna Keller

Michael McNaught 37, co-founder and president, RVezy When Michael McNaught bought an RV a few years back, he quickly realized it was a lot of money for a vehicle that sat idle in his driveway 11 months a year. Already an owner of rental properties, McNaught figured he could apply the same principle to his RV. The result is RVezy, a peerto-peer online marketplace for motorhomes, trailers and camper vans that now boasts an inventory of more than 7,000 vehicles.

Melissa McGuirk McNeil

37, senior legal counsel, Canadian Commercial Corp.

39, director of advancement, Ottawa Network for Education

Anna Keller has facilitated growth in new foreign markets for her employers and clients alike by developing business outreach strategies and acquisition plans for nearly a decade. As a corporate lawyer at Shopify in 2018, she spearheaded an international corporate structure that enabled the company to seamlessly expand into overseas markets – a goal she is continuing to pursue in her current role at the Canadian Commercial Corp.

When Melissa McGuirk McNeil joined the Ottawa Network for Education in 2015, she brought a vision of online fundraising and digital rebranding that would fundamentally change the way the organization operated. Now five years into her role, she has raised thousands of dollars through digital campaigns such as #GivingTuesday and the JA Future Leaders Campaign that broadened ONFE's reach to hundreds of new donors.

Monica Kunstadt-Landon

Patrick Nadeau

39, CFO, Kunstadt Sports and Ski Show

38, executive director, Ottawa Riverkeeper

Since she was 15 years old, Monica KunstadtLandon has played a role in her family-run business, Kunstadt Sports. As CFO, she has guided the company into a new era of success and expansion. The year 2019 was big for the company and Kunstadt-Landon personally. She completed a multimillion-dollar commercial banking change for the business, while also assisting in the purchase of new real estate for the company – which now has four locations.

When the region was struck by flooding in 2019, Patrick Nadeau was quickly thrust into the spotlight and tasked with leading the Ottawa Riverkeeper through a time of uncertainty and environmental crisis. Since joining the Riverkeeper in 2016, Nadeau has overseen rapid growth at the organization, including more than a 100 per cent increase in budget over four years and a 30 per cent increase in staff.

2020 FORTY UNDER 40 (LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

Brian Rogic

Shawna Tregunna

39, director of sales, Modis Canada

39, principal, Shawna Tregunna Consulting

Since joining Modis Canada as a student, Brian Rogic has worked his way up to sales director, playing a major role in the company’s growth and success. Within his first month, he helped secure the largest government contract in company history. He has been repeatedly recognized by Modis Canada, winning the top performer in Canada award five consecutive times and the North America President’s Club award 10 times.

Shawna Tregunna is known as one of the city’s digital marketing gurus and had assembled a growing client base through her company ReSoMe when it was acquired by Iversoft. Tregunna built on her expertise in social media marketing to include broader businessto-consumer and business-to-business marketing campaigns for major customers such as Farm Boy. When Iversoft spun off its marketing division, Tregunna left the firm to launch her own agency.

Dr. Caitlin Schwartz

Hussein Valji

39, co-founder, CWIM

39, president, H&N Hospitality

As co-founder of the Canadian Women in Medicine Organization and one of the brains behind the CWIM annual conference, Dr. Caitlin Schwartz and her co-founder have grown the event to astounding new heights. An educational conference and a place for female doctors to share their own successes and experiences of working in the field and battling stress and workplace burnout, the CWIM conference doubled attendance to 1,100 in just under three years.

Hussein Valji took over an independent hotel, renovating and rebranding it as a Howard Johnson, leading to sales multiplying and a successful exit. Valji used the proceeds to acquire the Econo Lodge Downtown Ottawa, which Valji marketed to truck drivers, bicycle groups and other demographics that want direct exterior access to their rooms. The efforts paid off with significant increases in guest satisfaction scores and sales.

Andrew Scott 33, owner / CEO, Pita Pit franchised units When Andrew Scott took on the challenge of buying a Pita Pit franchise as a university student, he had no idea that just over a decade later he would be expanding his franchise to four locations. Business was initially tough, as Scott would spend all of his time outside school working at the restaurant. However, by 2013, he had more than doubled sales.

Sasha Suda

29, CEO, Venture Creative Collective Michelle Weger began her entrepreneurial journey after graduating from university, founding Venture Creative Collective, a web development and automation company that assists other businesses in scaling up their online presence. Weger’s risk paid off, with business doubling and the team expanding. Her efforts to help companies develop an online sales presence have resulted in millions of dollars in revenue for her clients, even amid the pandemic.

39, director and CEO, National Gallery of Canada

Jennifer Welsh

Sasha Suda reinvented one of the city’s most treasured cultural institutions with the goal of engaging a younger, broader audience. As the Gallery’s youngest director and CEO in more than a century, Suda established its first strategic pillar plan, which focuses on resetting institutional values and curating exhibits that spark conversations. Suda made bringing more relevance to the gallery her top priority, refreshing its free access public spaces and filling them with artwork.

As the guiding force behind Indiva’s financial success, Jennifer Welsh elevated the cannabis company’s branding, bringing the business – and revenues – to new heights. Welsh created the company’s financial structure, ensuring the team had a proper resource planning system in place. She played a pivotal role in acquiring millions of dollars in equity financing for the business, commercializing its key product – cannabis edibles – and taking it public in 2017.

Jennifer Teoh 37, senior manager, Deloitte LLP Some describe accounting as “the medicine of commerce,” given that a business’s survival depends on its financial health. Following that analogy, Jennifer Teoh’s role as a complex accounting expert is akin to a surgeon – a specialist who tackles complex accounting and financial reporting issues by digging deep into the nature of unique or unusual transactions. Teoh’s role also includes advising clients on acquisitions, explaining the accounting implications of various terms and conditions.

*Denis Gravel’s salary and benefit figures are a combination of his compensation from the Eastern Ontario Laboratory Association, where he is a pathologist, and La Cité, where he is a manager. The provincial government does not disclose the work location of individuals included in its annual disclosure of public-sector employees who earn more than $100,000. This means that many Ottawa residents who work for Toronto-based ministries and organizations, such as those employed by the Crown Attorney’s Office, have been excluded.
