Two top Canadian business leaders sit down at the 2019 Prime Quadrant Conference to talk about their own journeys, what they've learned along the way, and what's next to come in Canadian finance and business leadership.

Michael Katchen is the CEO and Co-founder of Wealthsimple, an innovative financial services firm operating in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. Frustrated by his options as a retail investor in Canada, Katchen started Wealthsimple to make smart investing easy, low-cost, and accessible to everyone, regardless of age or net worth. Wealthsimple launched in September 2014 and quickly established itself as a leader in Canada. In under four years, it has grown to manage $3 billion for more than 100,000 clients. Prior to founding Wealthsimple, Katchen led product and marketing at 1000memories, a Y Combinator startup that was acquired by Ancestry.com. Katchen started his career at McKinsey & Company, where he advised clients in finance and technology.

Paul Desmarais III is a Senior Vice-President of Power Corporation and Power Financial. He acts as Executive Chairman of Sagard Holdings and Portag3, Chairman of Wealthsimple and Peak Achievement Athletics, and Vice-Chairman of Imerys. He is also a director of Great-West Life, Investors Group, Mackenzie, Pargesa, Groupe Bruxelles Lambert, IntegraMed, and Personal Capital.
