Chantal Pitre | National Manager, Women Entrepreneurs, TD
In this special series we speak to inspiring women role models from different backgrounds who share their views and advice for dealing with the period of anxiety and uncertainty we currently find ourselves in due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chantal Pitre is at the helm of the Women Entrepreneurs program at TD Bank. Earlier this year and under Chantal’s leadership, TD launched a new platform that aims to support women entrepreneurs across Canada, offering them specific resources and connecting them with industry partners, of which The Brand is Female is part of.
In this episode we speak to Chantal about the measures available to entrepreneurs to help them get through the challenges brought on by Covid-19. We spoke to Canada’s Small Business Minister Mary Ng earlier this week — catch our latest pod here — where she covered the Government initiatives available to business owners. In this conversation, Chantal walks us through the best way for entrepreneurs to work with their bankers for support during these tough times.
The following resources were mentioned by Chantal during our podcast, they are available for women entrepreneurs offering them various support programs:
