New year, new opportunities, and a chance to push forward with purpose. Our CEO, Francois Cote, is fully on board. 🚀 BetaKit, Canada’s go-to for startup and tech news, teamed up with NorthGuide to ask Francois and other Canadian founders about the habits they’re sharpening, the bets they’re making, and the buzzwords they’re banning in 2025. The buzzword off Francois’ list? “Disruption. It’s thrown around too often and feels reductive of what we’re trying to achieve. At Fig, we’re not here to disrupt for disruption’s sake—we’re here to innovate with intention. Every solution we develop and every process we refine is rooted in one goal: helping Canadians build better financial futures.” Check out what else Francois had to say! 🌟 #FigSpotlight

Ever wish you had a ‘blueprint’ to decode your boss’s quirks, values, and expectations right from day one? I did too. That's why I created my Leadership Blueprint, modeled after Luc Levesque, Head of Growth at Shopify, and send it to any new hires on my team. Here's why: 1. Clarity: Remove guesswork and foster transparency. 2. Efficiency: Align our efforts and focus on what truly matters. 3. Empowerment: Encourage self-starters and proactive problem-solvers. 💡 Question for you: What's the one leadership trait that you believe makes all the difference in Parks and Recreation?

Meet SUSAN CHAE, she/her, VP, Business Operations, NOAM Retail at Lightspeed! She’s been with the company for 10 years, initially with NuORDER by Lightspeed, based in California USA! ⭐ What motivates her? “I genuinely believe in our vision and the impact we can make with small businesses. I grew up with a single mom owning a small business and understand how the right resources can have a significant impact. Keeping in mind that our customer is someone like my mom helps tremendously—both in motivation and in empathy.” 🦉Advice for early career pros? “Don’t put yourself in a box. You might have grown up thinking you are good at one thing but find yourself more interested in something unexpected. Less than ideal work experiences are still learning opportunities.” 🎸💬 🍳How Susan stays balanced and energized? “As a mom of 3, I’ve learned over the years that I have to intentionally carve out time for myself daily and it doesn’t have to be a huge time investment. A quick 2-mile run, 15 minutes playing guitar, letting the dishes stay dirty while the kids and I talk after dinner—it’s the little moments that bring the greatest joy. 🥊 ⛺“I’m admittedly on my own version of eat, pray, love self discovery. I’ve picked up boxing and lifting weights (I’ve got a mean left hook), cooking for fun instead of just trying to get food on the table in 30 minutes or less, not saying no to something new (camping), and also learning to say no if I simply don’t want to do it (also camping—turns out drinking chunky lake water and sleeping in a tent during a hail storm is not my thing).” 🔮 What excites you for the future? “I believe that the industry is hungry for a solution like ours and that we can make a real difference to our customers - both retailers and brands. We are the only company that is set up to partner with brands/suppliers of all sizes & across multiple verticals, and make their data accessible to retailers of all sizes & across multiple verticals—for operational efficiencies and cost savings on both sides. Maybe it’s the 2 shots of espresso, but I’m energized and excited for 2025!” #WeAreLightspeed #MotivationMonday #LifeatLightspeed

Essential Tips to Keep Your Business Secure from Hackers! Cyber threats are on the rise, but with the right strategies, you can stay one step ahead. At Fused Tech Solutions, we’re passionate about helping Ottawa small businesses safeguard their operations. Here are 5 essential tips to protect your business from hackers: 1.      Strengthen Your Passwords. Make sure you use unique, complex passwords for each of your accounts. Implement a password manager to securely store and manage them. Also ensure you change passwords regularly and avoid reusing old ones. 2.      Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): This ensures you add an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step (e.g., SMS codes, email, or authenticator apps). This simple step can prevent unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised. 3.      Regularly Update Software and Systems: Did you know that hackers exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software. Ensure you schedule regular updates for your operating systems, applications, and antivirus programs to stay protected. 4.      Educate Your Team: Conduct regular cybersecurity training to teach your employees how to spot phishing emails and other scams. Create a clear protocol for reporting suspicious activity. 5.      Backup Your Data Frequently: Ensure your critical business data is backed up regularly to secure locations like the cloud or external storage. Test your backups periodically to ensure they can be restored in case of an attack. Cybersecurity is an ongoing effort.  As a business, the task of ensuring that your business is secure from hackers is also a continuous process, it never stops. You keep improving your processes and ensuring you a one step ahead of hackers. By implementing these practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of hacking and keep your business running smoothly. 📞 Need help securing your business?
