CONTRIBUTORS

Liza Agrba

Toronto-based Agrba writes about business, food and politics and is a regular contributor to CB. She has two stories in this issue: a look at how to host a company offsite (“Strategies,” p. 67) and an interview with Altrio CEO Raj Singh (“How I Made It,” p. 45). “As a freelance journalist, I’ve never really worked in an office,” says Agrba. “Hearing how Singh manages his team made me reflect on my own independent leadership style.”

Matthew Halliday

Based in Halifax, Halliday is a features editor at Maclean’s and writes about science, the environment and urban affairs. He dives into the opposition against Hydro-Québec’s controversial New England transmission-line project in “Power Play” (p. 34). “There are good-faith arguments on both sides,” says Halliday. “It’s easy to villainize one or the other, so I hope readers can engage with both perspectives.”

Anthony Gebrehiwot

Gebrehiwot is a self-taught, awardwinning digital artist and photographer whose work is focused on themes of social change and representation. He created the artwork for our cover story, “How I Made It” (p. 45), and his photo-illustration of Kukua COO Vanessa Ford was inspired by Afrofuturism. “This genre of art speaks to me like no other,” Gebrehiwot says. “It not only influences me, it’s a part of me too.”

Richmond Lam

Lam, who was born in Hong Kong and raised in London and Montreal, specializes in portrait and documentary photography. “I was shy growing up, so photography has been a way to meet people and tell their stories,” he says. Lam has photographed fashion fixtures J. W. Anderson and Coco Rocha, and for this issue, he turned his lens on 1Password’s chief people officer, Katya Laviolette (“Strategies,” p. 67).
