Strategically Engaged with Minnikin Resources Inc.

Understanding Diverse Experiences Working with a wide range of organizations such as Publicly traded, QUANGOs/ Crown Corps, Regulators, Heath Care, Not For Profits, Professional Associations and start-ups in Canada, the EU, the UK and Bermuda, Minnikin understands governance and technology from all of the different perspectives: founder, board member, investor, supplier, customer, and regulator. COVID-19 dramatically shifted their business. While travel restrictions shut some parts down entirely, others have accelerated. They continue to deliver value to their clients and partners.
COVID-19 hasn’t so much changed what we do as accelerated it. Companies were already starting to understand the importance of ESG and corporate culture. But the pace of adapting to this new reality has picked up considerably. We’re seeing many more organizations accepting ESG as an imperative. Boards are turning their attention to it and devoting resources to it, and we help them to structure and approach it strategically. - Paula Minnikin, Partner and Principal at Minnikin Resources Inc.
