BCA Podcasts C-Suite Unplugged: Karen Brookman, President & CEO of WCD
BCA President Adam Legge is joined by Karen Brookman, President and CEO of WCD, for an inspiring conversation on C-Suite Unplugged.
WCD has been part of Alberta's business landscape for more than 70 years. In this episode, Adam sits down with Karen Brookman to talk about the company's evolution, the values that have shaped its growth, and what it means to steward a multigenerational family business.
Karen shares how she approached taking the helm at WCD and how she continues to build a culture rooted in innovation, service, and community. She also reflects on the mentors who guided her— including her father, George Brookman— and the lessons that inform her leadership today.
This conversation offers a thoughtful, grounded look at leading a legacy company forward, supporting Alberta's community, and preparing for the opportunities ahead.
