Young Canadians in Finance (Toronto) is pleased to cordially invite you to an interactive fireside chat with Mr. Paul Desmarais III, Senior Vice-President of Power Corporation and Power Financial and the Founder and Honorary Chairman of Young Canadians in Finance.

 Mr. Desmarais’ vantage point is unparalleled in the Canadian financial sector as he sits at the intersection of Canada’s most established financial companies and its most exciting and innovative disruptors. He has experience as an operator, a hedge fund professional, risk management for traditional insurance and as a venture capital investor. Mr. Desmarais is a passionate Canadian and is bullish on Canada’s role in the world of finance and innovation. During the session, attendees will wear a ‘leader’s hat’ and learn how top leaders evaluate growth, teams and opportunities. Mr. Desmarais will also talk about the current global financial ecosystem and share his insights on future outlook and the role that Canada, and specifically young Canadians in finance, can play.

Once the fireside chat session wraps up, attendees are encouraged to ask questions as the diversity of questions will lead to a fun and interactive discussion. The event will then wrap up with a networking session where refreshments and drinks are served.
