In this podcast, the Ontario DECA Provincial Officers talk to industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and DECA alumni about their business journeys. We strive to inform and educate our members to help them become emerging leaders with a competitive edge in today's business landscape.
Today, we invited Matthew Price, General Manager of Uber Canada, onto the show to talk about his journey through the world of business and management so far. He founded our sister organization DECA U Canada while studying at Queen's, then went abroad to complete business school at INSEAD and work at Uber Europe's Strategy and Planning department before coming back to Toronto. We dove into his role at Uber, how the company is persevering through COVID-19, and much more. Apart from his career and DECA, we chatted about traveling, why students should go on an exchange program, and he revealed he has visited sixty-five countries as of now!
