Headshot of Kumaran Profile Picture

I am a first generation Canadian of Tamil heritage whose unique background bridges cultures, sectors, and ways of thinking. I’m a former Ontario public servant who now actively leads businesses in skills training and workforce development, media and communications, and global markets as Co-Founder and Deputy Chairman of the 369 Global group of companies. We are living in extraordinary times, which is why I believe we need everyday leadership to reimagine Canada’s future in a rapidly changing world.
