SPM is pleased to announce that Catherine Daw, President and Co-founder, has once again joined the ranks of other women blazing trails across Canada and globally for a 4th consecutive year.
Ranking Canada’s Top Women Entrepreneurs by the annual revenue of their firms, the PROFIT W100 profiles the country’s most successful business owners. Published in the November issue of PROFIT and online at www.profitmagazine.ca, the PROFIT W100 is Canada’s largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement by women.
“I am pleased with our progress over the past year," says Daw. « We are continuing to see the benefits of our market focus on Enabling the Effective Enterprise™. SPM is having focused conversations with executives on how to effectively execute strategy to achieve significant outcomes. Clients and prospects are excited by our approach and the tangible results we have been able to achieve,” added Daw.
The 10th annual PROFIT W100 list showcases 100 enterprising women entrepreneurs who are delivering world-class products and services — and reaping the rewards. The average annual revenue of Canada’s Top Women Entrepreneurs rose to $36.8 million in their most recent fiscal year, up from $32 million a year earlier and just $15 million when the ranking was established in 1999. They have achieved average three-year revenue growth of 236%; employ on average 105 staff; and fully 93 of the firms on this year’s W100 turned a profit.
“Canada’s Top Women Entrepreneurs are stronger than ever,” says Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT. “They’ve continued to grow profitable companies by investing in their people and products while developing new and better ways to do business.”
