Principal, The Jonah Group “Our relationship with the University of Toronto has given us access to many of the bright young minds in the field. Not only does our growth depend on an ability to locate new talent, but the sheer quality, attitude and overall cultural fit of these graduates has always been a welcome surprise to us. Our company would not have been nearly as successful as it has been without them.
Alan Bernardi
