t started out as more of a question: Who are
the people behind the scenes at B.C. orga-
nizations that we never hear about? We're
always profiling and featuring
CEOs and
entrepreneurs who have made it big. But
seldom do we—both at this magazine and
generally in the media—feature people who
are making a large impact in those companies without
being at the very top of them.
We had some ideas of who those people might be,
and we asked a number of companies and organiza-
tions for their input. In the end, we chose six people
to feature. In the coming pages, you'll hear from a
political star-maker, two product managers who have
a couple of B.C.'s most promising tech companies in
the palm of their hands, a supply chain wiz, a sales vir-
tuoso and a social worker who has the hefty responsi-
bility of dealing with one of our biggest organization's
hardest jobs.
Some of them have been briefly featured before in
the media, but we wanted to dig in and figure out what
makes these people tick, and why they do what they
do. We hope, at the very least, to give you something
you haven't read before.
The names you don't know behind the
organizations that you do
