Six Atlantic Canadians among country’s top female entrepreneurs
Six Atlantic Canadians among country’s top female entrepreneurs
This year’s PROFIT and Chatelaine joint publication of the W100 list of Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneurs includes four Nova Scotia and two New Brunswick residents. The W100 ranking and awards program celebrates the largest firms owned and operated by women in Canada.
“The women of the W100 offer 100 shining examples of Canadian entrepreneurship,” said PROFIT magazine publisher and editor-in-chief Ian Portsmouth in a published statement. “They have achieved their elite status by creating valued products and services, applying deft management skills and exercising the determination required to succeed in today’s business environment.”
About the rankings: The W100 were ranked by a composite of the size, growth rate and profitability of their businesses. All growth rates were based on a base-year revenue of at least $200,000, and PROFIT verified figures through financial statements. To qualify, women must be owners or significant stakeholders who at least share chief decision-making responsibilities.
