About the Council
The Black Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (BEKH) Advisory Council brings together leaders from business, finance, technology, entrepreneurship and academia to provide strategic guidance and support the BEKH's continued development.
Drawing on their experience, expertise and professional networks, Board members help guide the BEKH's strategic direction, strengthen connections across sectors and identify opportunities to advance its work.
Their contributions support the BEKH's role as Canada's national central hub for research, data and insights on Black entrepreneurship ecosystems, strengthening community-led research collaborations and helping ensure that the knowledge generated informs more equitable opportunities for Black entrepreneurs across Canada.
