“What I enjoy most about working here is that everyone feels like they own part of the company. You feel true ownership and that’s what drives me. Everyday brings a fresh challenge or a new and exciting company to work with. It’s fast paced, challenging and rewarding all at the same time.” Daisy Mackay, M&A Executive “What I love about working for Shaw & Co is that everyone has the autonomy to add their own building blocks to the business. Everyday you can see the tangible growth of the company and that’s something you don’t get to see that in a large corporate – and that’s what is so special about working here.” Paul Mills, Chief Marketing Officer
