2:15pm – 2:45pm: Jaclyn Reid, VP & CEO of CSS Office Solutions Inc.
A born problem-solver and believer in everything happens for a reason, Jaclyn’s desire to always improve is what has pushed her to continually develop her entrepreneurial skills, understand resiliency, and find innovative solutions for the business. As a member of the global entrepreneurial group, Women Presidents’ Organization, and a participant in the Calgary Chamber of Commerce CEO Peer Mentoring program, she completely embraces the concept of sharing knowledge, collaboration and learning from others. Jaclyn provides mentorship through Futurpreneur, and provides advising to Alberta Women Entrepreneurs. She loves constant learning, being in the mountains, her supportive and talented husband, their two daughters and fur-babies, and is most certainly known to drop a few, or maybe a lot of f-bombs.
