Waterloo Engineering students and alumni are invited to participate in an exclusive virtual Office Hour with Waterloo Engineering alumni Shawn Freeman (MMSc ‘14, management sciences), mentor, tech expert and entrepreneur, to learn about leadership and the various stages of a start-up: transitioning from an employee to owning a business, scaling it, selling and then exiting.
During this Office Hour, Shawn will talk about his unique career path since graduating from the master of management sciences program at the University of Waterloo and he will share his experience about the evolution of an entrepreneur - an everchanging landscape. Shawn will discuss his start-up journey on starting an IT service provider company in 2011, almost a decade of hard work, commitment, and inspiring growth, being acquired and then finally exiting, and now looking to the future on what’s next!
Come to this session ready with questions about leadership, mentorship, tech start-ups, and all things entrepreneurial. Shawn will also share insights on how to get started as an entrepreneur and tips and tricks to help you stand out in industry. Please RSVP to receive the MS Teams link to join and bring your questions for an engaging conversation!
