Kelly Bergeron
Computer Programmer Analyst, 2004

Executive Director, Cornwall Innovation Centre
Cornwall Chapter Lead, Canada Learning Code

Kelly Bergeron is used to inhabiting two worlds. On the one hand, she's a programmer who lives and breathes technology. On the other, she has worked for numerous charitable organizations, even starting her own. Sometimes they collide  - like when she passed on an invitation to meet Bill Gates in DC as a volunteer in his Global Poverty Project, in order to interview for a position with Salesforce. But more often, they have blended, like when she left Silicon Valley to return to her hometown to teach kids to code. Now she is at the helm of an innovation centre.

Not many people can say they have successfully presented to the Dragons' Den, but Myles has done so twice before his 25th birthday. His second round was a request from the Dragons' Den for him to return with his Big Balls Golf. Myles Doak is the founder of three companies and holds the patent for his inventive nod to hockey. 

His Summer Skates sports sandals made with hockey laces yielded a global license for the NHLPA & inspired Instagram posts with NHL greats. His marketing company gives small businesses the tools to thrive on social media and educate them.
