Guest Lecture in Strategic Management with Ms. Imane Tabbara

Mr. Handelsman gave a guest lecture in Strategic Management with our BCom students. He discussed his previous role as Director of Finance and Strategy for Tim Hortons and some of the strategic opportunities and challenges they faced. In particular he analyzed the Cold Stone Creamery – Tim Hortons partnership that ultimately ended in 2014. He also discussed the industry more broadly, his new venture as an entrepreneur and gave career advice, particularly commenting on the importance of the McGill network.
