Episode 9 of Chamber Voices features a person who literally helped build Fort McMurray into the community it is today! Gene Dobie came to Fort McMurray in 1976 with the same “five-year plan” that many of us had when we arrived. Nearly five decades on, the President and General Manager of Genron Enterprises has amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience about what it takes to be a successful operator.
Part 1: We talk about what kept Gene and his family here in Fort McMurray all these years, and what still motivates him to go into work each day. We also hear about some of Gene’s passions and learn why a worldly perspective is so valuable for any leader.
Part 2: Gene shares some of the biggest challenges in doing business today and discusses collaborative business solutions. Finally, Gene explains why being based in Northern Alberta gives Genron a competitive advantage.
