“On behalf of Skills Ontario, we congratulate Jennifer on this incredible achievement,” says Ian Howcroft, CEO of Skills Ontario. “Jennifer exemplifies the qualities of a fantastic leader. She is influential, decisive, and an individual of great integrity. She is a creative thinker and excels in helping us meet our objectives and have a real impact. We are very proud!”
As stated on the WXN website: “Every year, we have a challenge: to select just 100 women to receive our Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Awards. These are women who personify what it means to be powerful through the way they empower and champion others, influence change and stand up for all of us.”
