« BDC a des ambitions élevées en termes de portée, on veut servir plus d’entrepreneur∙es, pas nécessairement être la plus grande banque mais […] maximiser l’impact qu’on a sur l’économie canadienne. » - Véronique Dorval, notre vice-présidente exécutive et cheffe de l’exploitation, centre son rôle sur les entrepreneur∙es. Ce qui l’amène à penser tant à l’expérience client et au fait d’être Uni∙es pour les entrepreneur·es, à la productivité et aux services-conseils qu’aux petites entreprises, à celles dirigées par des personnes noires ou autochtones, aux femmes entrepreneur∙es, aux propriétaires d’entreprise qui veulent rendre leurs opérations plus vertes ou adopter l’intelligence artificielle. Elle nous explique tout ça dans cet épisode du Podcast Hypercroissance animé par Antoine Gagné et présenté par J7 Media. https://lnkd.in/edtjvUNk
