Leann Hackman-Carty

I believe we can save lives and livelihoods. I'm a social entrepreneur that desires to make a meaningful global impact-whether it be through my work in the non-profit or corporate sector.

My network and entrepreneurial drive have enabled me to establish unique partnerships; anticipate emerging needs; and design new products and services.

I love sharing my expertise, and have received awards for my community resilience work, and recognition as one of Canada's most powerful women. I've authored the "Master Your Disaster" readiness, response, and recovery guides in English and Spanish, and host MYD Global's YouTube Channel where we talk "all things disaster".

In addition to my work at Concrete Global Ventures and Froxbox, I’ve served as the Mayor of Calgary's Executive Assistant for over a decade; managed political campaigns; led initiatives in the corporate, public and not-for-profit sector; provided business development services to the States of Mississippi and Georgia; led the Organization of Women in International Trade; hosted international trade delegations; and offered a range of business and economic recovery services.

I'm grateful to be alive, able to make a positive contribution.
