The great collaboration between the Columbia University Club of Toronto and UofT's Rotman School of Management continues!

What does it take to turn a bold idea into a global business? 

How do you keep the entrepreneurial spirit alive as it grows?

Join in-person for a look "Inside the C-Suite" with Ronnen Harary, Co-founder and Chairman of Spin Master, the Canadian company behind some of the world’s best-known toys and entertainment brands, including PAW Patrol, Bakugan and Rubik’s Cube.

Harary will reflect on the journey of building Spin Master, sharing the decisions, partnerships and lessons that helped shape its growth. We’ll explore how leaders create room for new ideas, navigate risk and uncertainty, and adapt as their businesses expand and ambitions evolve.

Drawing on his experience and reflections from his new book, No Experience Necessary, this conversation will offer insights for business leaders, entrepreneurs and aspiring founders alike—a chance to hear firsthand about the challenges and opportunities of building a business with global reach.
