Leading the Way for Aboriginal CEOs & Businesses

Ms. Brenda LaRose, Managing Partner with our Firm was interviewed by Holly Moncrieff at the Winnipeg Free Press. The interview was included in a special insert that was in the newspaper of Saturday, April 19th. The insert specifically highlighted Aboriginal businesses in Manitoba and was sponsored by Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba.

“Brenda LaRose has made a science out of finding exactly the right person for the right job at the right time.”

“The Managing Partner of Leaders & Co. (formerly Higgins Executive Search) has found CEOs and high-ranking directors for organizations in every province and territory except P.E.I. She’s also worked with companies in the United States and around the world.”

“We’re not just Aboriginal-based, but we’re the experts in placing Aboriginal executives or finding the right people for Aboriginal companies,” said LaRose. “We had a good name in the community, so that part of our business took off pretty fast. It’s all been through word of mouth and referrals.”

“Since LaRose started her company in 1999, her business has grown by leaps and bounds. Leaders & Co. focuses on finding people for jobs at the board, CEO, vice-president or director level. They are a bilingual company, working in English and French.”

“Aboriginal business is growing at five times the rate of mainstream business, which is exciting. Aboriginal businesses have a huge impact on our economy,” she said. “We expanded our own business when we joined with Leaders & Co.”
