I'm thrilled to bring you this conversation with Jeff White, a lawyer by training who has forged a career in finance and boasts a comprehensive understanding of the Canadian capital markets 'ecosystem.' Throughout his career, Jeff has offered invaluable strategic insights into capital markets strategy, fundraising alternatives, and navigating the intricate regulatory landscape.
