Waste Management Trailblazer Emmie Leung Completes Elite Ivey Program

BURLINGTON, Ontario - June 2, 2016 - PRLog -- QuantamShift^TM is an intensive program for entrepreneurs created by Ivey School of Business and KPMG Enterprise. The program seeks to work with leaders that have taken Canadian companies beyond successful startup that are poised for next level growth and performance.

Emmie Leung, Founder and CEO of Emterra Group, started as a one-woman operation some 40 years ago to a Canadian waste management leader now servicing 10% of the Canadian population. Growth has expanded to the USA in recent years, with successful operations established in Michigan. Emmie's vision on transforming waste into resources to achieve a world of "zero waste" has guided the company to success.

Acceptance to QuantumShift^TM comes via a nomination process and is on an invitation basis. The program focuses on how to lead an enterprise through exponential growth; attract and retain the best employees; uncover obstacles that may be limiting growth; value a venture and use strategies for moving from business plan to financial proposition; and build a strong network of entrepreneurial peers to share best-practices.

Ms. Leung, now among only 500 graduates in 13 years since inception, credits the course with fostering an environment of open dialogue where participants can share experiences and challenges - a rarity at the CEO level - allowing them to learn from others. Leung notes,

"Emterra is one of only a few remaining fully Canadian, family owned and operated waste management companies in Canada," Leung said, noting the Canadian waste management industry is being reshaped by major mergers and acquisitions. "The QuantumShift program reconfirmed for me that Emterra's experience and expertise in resource recovery, combined with our truly Canadian perspective, is positioning us for meaningful growth."

Leung credited the QuantumShift^TM case study approach highlighting how Emterra "can apply best practices to take advantage of opportunities stemming from growing public awareness of sustainability and climate change, and the latest technologies to provide a full range of waste management and resource recovery services more competitively."

As a Canadian leader in the waste resource recovery and waste management industry, Leung has pushed Emterra Group to also become among Canada's most progressive users of alternative green fleet technologies in the waste management industry and consistently employs green technology.
