E11 - Shannon Pestun - Director, Women’s Entrepreneurship at ATB Financial
“The female economy and understanding its power is a very important conversation no matter who you are.”
Join me as I chat with Shannon Pestun, Director of Women’s Entrepreneurship at ATB Financial, Business and Agriculture.
Shannon brings the notion of gender intelligence to the conversation of economic transformation, specifically on the entrepreneurial potential of women in Calgary. Having noticed the imbalance in opportunities given to male and female entrepreneurs, Shannon became a champion for women to reach their full economic potential, never shying away from asking tough questions in the company of male business leaders. Shannon also shines a light on areas outside of technology that she calls “the main street”, and the importance of shaping a clear way forward for new entrepreneurs and small businesses so they can be a part of Calgary’s economic transformation.
