On this episode of Behind the Business, Ian is joined by one of Canada’s leading economic voices, Pierre Cléroux, Vice President, Research and Chief Economist at BDC.

With more than 25 years of experience shaping economic policy, advising governments, and analyzing business trends across Canada and globally, Pierre brings a unique perspective on what’s really driving success, and risk, for today’s entrepreneurs.

In this episode, they go beyond the headlines to unpack the current economic climate, what it means for Canadian businesses, and how leaders can make smarter, more strategic decisions in an increasingly complex environment. They also explore Pierre’s own career journey from public policy to global advisory roles, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

If you’re a business owner, executive, or emerging leader looking to stay ahead of the curve, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
