Show Notes
An interview with Ray Williams, the co-founder and Chair of the Board of the Black Opportunity Fund (BOF). Williams also serves as Managing Director and Vice-Chair with National Bank Financial.
Spearheaded by a coalition of black Canadian executives and established in 2020, the Black Opportunity Fund is Canada's most ambitious investor fund dedicated to supporting black community organizations, businesses and entrepreneurs.
The fund's primary aim is to enable the black community to access a pool of long-term funds to help combat the impact of systemic anti-black racism and promote social and economic empowerment across Canada.
