Alumni Spotlight
Celebrating the people and stories that make our alumni community thrive
The WMI & Order Alumni Spotlight series highlights leaders from across our alumni community. Each feature shares a member’s story, experiences, and advice - offering practical takeaways, inspiration, and a deeper sense of connection.
We’re starting with leadership and board members to set the tone for the series, and then we’ll expand to alumni from every cohort, industry, and region. Together, these spotlights will build a catalogue of insights and stories that reflect the strength and diversity of our alumni network.
What’s something you’re working on right now that excites you?
We are currently building out a solid IPP/IBP process for defense related projects in the country to stay ahead of the coming demand.
What’s been one of the biggest lessons from your professional journey?
Growing too fast and not having a clear financial plan in place for that growth. Comparing the pros and cons of being an in community based Indigenous owned business.
What does being part of WMI Alumni mean to you?
It was an interesting opportunity to be among other advanced entrepreneurs. As an Indigenous entrepreneur its hard-to-find tables as these where learning can be reciprocal.
Any advice you’d give to fellow members navigating growth or change?
Reach out to the unlikely mentors, you never know what you could learn from their journey that could help yours.
Just for fun: What’s one thing people might be surprised to learn about you?
I have anxiety when flying, which is a huge part of my work. So, I have mastered falling asleep fast.
One thing I wish other members knew about my business is…
I think as a business called Indigevisor, it may confuse potential clients into thinking we only work with Indigenous clients. But it's actually the opposite.
I’d love to connect with other members about…
Learning about how we could be of service and vice versa. I love learning more about the business community.

We’re in a constant state of change right now. Markets look at leaders to “move fast,” “pivot quickly,” “decide now.” My fellow Eagles, I love a quick turn around. But the truth is, there’s wisdom in the pause too.

Always strive to be the best version of yourself. Ask for help. When in doubt go back to your company values for guidance on difficult decisions.
I believe WMI can and should be at the centre of business leadership and entrepreneurial development in Atlantic Canada.ominate yourself or another alumnist here.
