Building a Legacy: Entrepreneurship and Investment in Black Communities

Following the success of the launch cocktail for the first cohort of the Certification in Strategic Management and Leadership, which explored the recipe for building a successful business, we are pleased to celebrate the launch of the second cohort with a new cocktail event focused on building an entrepreneurial legacy for Black communities. 

How can we build a lasting entrepreneurial legacy? What financial levers, networks and strategies can foster the prosperity and long-term sustainability of businesses within Black communities? 

This panel will bring together inspiring leaders from the entrepreneurial community: Noberta Faustin, an expert in governance and organizational strategy, recognized for her authentic leadership, and Rose Marcello, a renowned specialist in financing high-growth businesses, who will share her perspective on the role of Black women within a powerful economic ecosystem worth more than $6 billion. Drawing on their respective journeys and complementary perspectives, the panelists will discuss entrepreneurship, impact investing, leadership and ways to build a strong legacy for current and future generations. 

Moderated by Wils Théagène, program educational director of the certification, the panel will be followed by a networking cocktail bringing together entrepreneurs, presidents and CEOs, founders, business successors from Black communities, as well as investors. 

A unique opportunity to build strategic connections and discover the Certification in Strategic Management and Leadership, a one-of-a-kind program in Canada designed to propel businesses within Black communities forward.
