4 B C B U S I N E S S . C A M AY 2 0 24 CONTRIBUTORS Jessica Natale Woollard started freelance writing in 2007, drawn to the field to chase a love of learning and to share stories deserving of a wider audience. In this issue, Natale Woollard wrote profiles for the Community Builder finalists in our Women of the Year awards (p.23). "These impressive B.C. women lead with head and heart," she says. "I was reminded of what Lawyer Barbie says in the Barbie movie: 'I have no difficulty holding both logic and emotion at the same time, and it does not diminish my powers. It expands them.'" Read on to see how the finalists use their expanded powers for good. Kyrani Kanavaros is a full-time beagle lover, professional pho- tographer, mother of twins and recovering law firm employee. "Shooting Ashley Syer and her dog Sadie [for "Holding Court," p.9] momentarily had me re- considering going back to a law firm—what a gorgeous space that looks more like a design firm than a law office," she says, adding that her beagle Hector could learn some manners from Sadie. Kanavaros also cap- tured BC Hotel Association CEO Ingrid Jarrett for our Women of the Year feature: "She was so much fun. Her celebrity stories were the best. I wish I could share a few of those but as they say, what happens at a shoot, stays at the shoot." ON THE COVER "I knew right when I walked into Ethós Lab that I should photograph Anthonia in front of the vibrant mural—it really encapsulates what they're all about." – Photographer Tanya Goehring BCBUSINESS.CA CEO & GROUP PUBLISHER Ryan Benn GROUP VP, PUBLISHING & OPERATIONS Nina Wagner EDITORIAL EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Anicka Quin EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Nathan Caddell (BCBusiness), Stacey McLachlan (Vancouver magazine) MANAGING EDITOR Alyssa Hirose ASSISTANT EDITORS Kerri Donaldson, Rushmila Rahman WINE AND SPIRITS EDITOR Neal McLennan CONTRIBUTING EDITORS Karen Ashbee, Melissa Edwards, Amanda Ross, Julie Van Rosendaal EDITORIAL INTERNS Gates Annai, Alicia Nolasco EMAIL bcb@canadawide.com DESIGN CREATIVE DIRECTOR Jenny Reed ART DIRECTORS Stesha Ho (Vancouver magazine), Edwin Pabellon (BCBusiness) ADVISORY COUNCIL Bridgitte Anderson, Greater Vancouver Board of Trade; TC Carling, Canadian Men's Health Foundation; Victoria Emslie, Nicola Wealth; Jayne Landry, Telus; Carol Liao, UBC Allard School of Law; Matthew McClenaghan, Edgar; Jen Riley, Bosa Properties SALES REPRESENTATION VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES Anna Lee SENIOR MEDIA SPECIALISTS Brianne Harper, Mira Hershcovitch, Amy LaJambe, Sheri Stubel SALES COORDINATOR Rebecca Scutt EMAIL sales@canadawide.com PRODUCTION/ADMINISTRATION GROUP VP, EDUCATION AND ADMINISTRATION Jane Griffiths GROUP DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS Devin Steinberg DIRECTOR OF CIRCULATION Tracy McRitchie MANAGER, HR AND ADMINISTRATION Ava Pashmchi EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE CEO Hannah Dewar PRODUCTION MANAGER/DIGITAL AD COORDINATOR Kim McLane PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE Natasha Jayawardana PRODUCTION SUPPORT TECHNICIAN Ina Bowerbank FINANCE GROUP VP, FINANCE Conroy Ing, cpa, cma VP OF FINANCE Sonia Roxburgh, cpa, cga ACCOUNTING Terri Mason, Eileen Gajowski ADDRESS Suite 130, 4321 Still Creek Drive, Burnaby, B.C.
