Gerry Pond's Legacy: Building Companies, Backing Entrepreneurs, Shaping a Region

A few weeks ago, Gerry Pond, one of New Brunswick's great business leaders, passed away.  On this week's Insights podcast, Don and David welcome Curtis Howe, Gerry's long-time friend and business partner, to discuss his life and legacy.  Few in New Brunswick have had such a meaningful business career.  For more than three decades, he helped shape NBTel into one of North America's most innovative telecommunications companies.  He then went on to co-found a top information technology (IT) company in Atlantic Canada and invest in over 80 companies through East Valley Ventures. After a 40-year relationship, few are better positioned than Curtis to share the story of Gerry Pond.  After leaving NBTel, he mused about starting an asphalt company.  While there is no doubt he would have succeeded in this business, Atlantic Canada's IT sector and the dozens of successful entrepreneurs he supported are glad he went in a different direction.  This one is well worth an hour of your time.
