The Downside?

We’re pretty self aware as a company and we know there are some areas where we can do better:

Process: The Company is growing fast in all aspects which is great. We are one of the Top 25 fastest growing private companies in Canada over the last 4 years. The hard part is that we don’t have the processes of a big company in place yet. We are counting on our people to help create that process stand-up better efficiencies and adjust quickly as we grow.

Challenges ahead: We have pivoted to where we see the best and biggest opportunity as an enterprise & B2B solution. This requires rigour discipline and planning from the entire team as we address the functionality and features of our platform and like any pivots there have been a few bumps in the road.

Transition: This is the key to our success and our ability to scale but there will be short-term challenges in making this transition. We are revisiting everything from marketing collateral pricing and the go-to-market plan - and calibrating it all to sync up with the strategy. That is a lot to do in a short period of time!

We believe in everyone.

At Nest Wealth we commit to pursuing deliberate efforts to ensure that our company is a place where differences are welcomed different perspectives are respectfully heard and where every individual feels a sense of belonging and inclusion. We know that by creating a vibrant climate of inclusiveness we can more effectively advance our collective capabilities.
