CEO, LaSalle College's version of the hit television show Dragon's Den, recently wrapped up with six teams of Business Management students presenting their final projects to an esteemed panel of industry experts. This event was the synthesis of more than three years of studies focused on the creation and management of organizations of all types.

 

This year’s jury consisted of big names in the industry, such as:

  • Haroun Bouazzi: Former Vice-President at the BDC
  • Magda Popeanu: Vice-President of the Executive Committee of the City of Montreal
  • Lorne Rubin: Financial Specialist at Paramount Finance,
  • George Popescu: General Manager of Hyundai West Island.

 

With only eight minutes to present their concept and a two-minute Q&A period, the stakes were high for each team. In the end, only one team emerged as the winner. Did you miss out on all the excitement? Here are the victors!
