I toured Bayview Yards in my previous role with the UK Government as part of a visiting delegation and was impressed with the energy of the place, and the important part that Invest Ottawa plays in developing the local economy.
Helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams is the best part of working with Invest Ottawa. Working out of Bayview Yards is exciting – there is always a lot of buzz happening in the building and every day provides new opportunities to collaborate with the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the city.
I love it here! The energy in the building, the commitment to work my colleagues exude – you know that folks are engaged at a high level and that challenges me to bring my best every day. On a typical day, I connect, engage, research, learn, write, repeat.
