Wednesday, January 30, 2013 from 12:30 to 1:20 pm, in room 55 on the 4th floor of the Buhler Centre, 460 Portage Avenue.

Mahon, President and Chief Operating Officer – Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life, will share his insights on the history of Great-West Life as a Winnipeg-based company that expanded nationally and globally.

He will also highlight why Winnipeg is important to one of the largest insurance companies in North America, and the crucial role Winnipeg educational institutions play in building successful companies.
