Presenter: Shawn Moen

Many of us in Saskatchewan are familiar with The Great Depression – it forms part of our DNA as prairie people. COVID-19 has ushered in The Great Disruption – requiring that we rethink supply chains, motivate our colleagues remotely and dream big about what might be once the crisis period ends. The pressure on “leaders” of various levels is immense but also invigorating and rewarding. Shawn will share his experiences leading the hearty gang of brewers at 9 Mile Legacy Brewing.

Shawn Moen is the CEO and Co-Founder of 9 Mile Legacy Brewing Co. Ltd., a nanobrewery located in the heart of the Riversdale neighbourhood in Saskatoon, SK. Shawn’s professional background is in law, having practiced in a number of settings over the last 15 years.
