Madeleine Paquin in the Top 20 of the W100

Madeleine Paquin, President and CEO of Logistec, has been named to the top 20 of the annual W100 ranking of Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneurs, produced by PROFITguide.com, Canadian Business and Chatelaine.

“I am honoured to once again be a part of the W100, and to share this award with a group of talented, successful women,” Ms. Paquin said. “We are all very passionate about our businesses, and there is never one ‘smart move’ that puts a company ahead. It’s a culmination of hard work, strategic decision making, and building a reliable team.”

The W100 takes into account the size, growth rate and profitability of businesses, and profiles the country’s most successful female business owners. Ms. Paquin ranked first on the list and was named Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneur in 1999, and has been a member of the W100 every year since then.

“This year’s W100 represent the absolute best of Canada’s business community,” said James Cowan, Editor-in-chief of Canadian Business and PROFITguide.com. “Female entrepreneurs are too often stereotyped as ‘mompreneurs’ pursuing part-time hobby businesses. But the W100 demonstrate just how vital they are to driving innovation and growth in the Canadian economy.”
