This week on Insights, Don and David have a conversation with Andrea Feunekes, the president, CEO and co-founder of Remsoft Inc., a global software company based in Fredericton. Andrea is also the chair of the New Brunswick Business Council.

Remsoft has been in business for 30 years and is one of the oldest software development companies in New Brunswick. Andrea co-founded the firm at a time when there were very few female-led tech companies.

She tells us about her journey, the challenges and the rewards of building a successful company that now has clients on six continents. 

She also weighs in on several important issues: the difficulties so many entrepreneurs have breaking through the $1-$2 million revenue ceiling and the importance of diverse workforces for the province and region to maintain the recent positive momentum in economic and population growth.

 She also shares why she believes Canada is behind much of the rest of the world when it comes to its forest management practices, and why companies must listen to their young workers when they make demands of their employers.
