Daria Hobeika, a 2019 McGill HEC Montréal Executive MBA graduate, was recently selected as an Action Canada fellow.

Each year, the non-profit organization selects up to 20 emerging leaders to become Fellows. The Action Canada Fellowship is a 10-month public policy leadership program that aims to deepen emerging leaders’ understanding of Canada.

Daria is one of the top candidates from a nationwide call for applications. The fellows represent all sectors and hail from large cities and small communities across the country.

“Studying business administration after working in the public service reinforced my belief that sustainable societal change requires the private, public, and academic sectors to establish mechanisms for systematic collaboration on complex issues. Having transitioned to the private sector since the EMBA, I welcome my upcoming journey with Action Canada as an opportunity to further reflect on how this can be achieved, with a specific focus on this year’s theme of sustainable transportation.”
