Here are just two ideas you will come to embrace after the latest episode of 'Hitting Your Stride': failure is not an ending, and your original idea will not be your final idea. Those are just two notions that Nicole Verkindt shares with Tracey and her listeners in this episode. The Ivey School of Business graduate and one of Canada's leading entrepreneurial voices, Verkindt gives her take on such things as accepting that a horse will teach you to check your ego at the barn door, that you can't control everything no matter how much you try, and that you are going to fail but that's not the end of the journey. Comparing entrepreneurs to lions, Verkindt describes the value she found in mentorship as a young businesswoman and that some of the best stuff happens when it follows an uncomfortable conversation. She says its important to ask for help and collaborate with others, but also to see the importance of sharing ideas when trying to advance a project since nobody can do it alone.

In this special episode of the Sustainalytics Podcast, our host Nick Gandolfo is joined by Nicole Verkindt, Director, Sustainalytics Corporate Solutions to discuss the role of ESG in supply chains. Given the large proportion companies spend in their supply chain (about 70% on average), the environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability performance of supply chain companies can not be ignored. And for suppliers, a focus on improving their own ESG performance could be a competitive advantage. Nicole and Nick also discuss the launch of Sustainalytics' ESG Assessment Platform, a tool to help companies assess the overall sustainability of the organizations that they work with, from customers to suppliers to partners.

Since graduating in 2007, Nicole Verkindt has had quite the ride. From her first job as the ‘hot walker' at the Woodbine Racetrack, to learning sales on the fly with a Belgium firm, Verkindt founded OMX (Offset Market Exchange), a powerful procurement platform for various complex supply chain industries. Working with major International players like Lockheed Martin and British Aerospace, Verkindt became a prominent fixture in major boards, and government discussions, as a major proponent for innovation across Canadian industries. In this latest episode, Verkindt speaks candidly about her journey out of business school, her view of innovation, and why it is vital to Canada's place in the global economy.

You could say that Nicole Verkindt was born into business. The child of aerospace industry entrepreneurs, she founded her own global company called OMX in her twenties, and she hasn't looked back. Most Canadians know Nicole from her stint as a Dragon on CBC's popular Next Gen Den and from her frequent media commentary, and this award-winning business leader continues to smash glass ceilings everywhere she goes.
