Best Ottawa Business Awards

CEO of the Year Announced

Congratulations to the 2022 CEO of the Year

Kyle Braatz, CEO, Fullscript

Next generation technology sector leader Kyle Braatz is the 23rd recipient of the award, joining a prestigious group of past winners that includes Shopify co-founder Tobi Lütke, Kinaxis CEO John Sicard, and Altis Recruitment and excelHR co-founder and CEO Kathryn Tremblay.

“I want to thank Kyle for his leadership and perseverance in scaling Fullscript to incredible heights. As Ottawa builds back from the pandemic and its economic impact, it’s encouraging seeing Ottawa-based companies that are innovating on a global basis. Kyle and Fullscript are an inspiration for other entrepreneurs,” says Sueling Ching, president and CEO of the Ottawa Board of Trade.

The CEO of the Year award is part of the Best Ottawa Business Awards – better known as the BOBs – which are presented annually each fall. Braatz and other notable local business leaders – including the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and the CFO of the Year – will receive their awards in a gala at the Westin Ottawa on Thursday, Nov. 24. Tickets will be available later this month. Looking to nominate a business for the BOBS? CLICK HERE
