Queen's Business Consulting Alumni Spotlight: Meet Aidan Wilks

Aidan took part in the QBC program in the winter of 2014. While here, he created and implemented a strategic business plan for a police force in Ontario. Upon graduation, Aidan found his passion in the area of marketing and advertising, working first with Unhaggle, a centralized automotive purchasing platform, and now with Google. At Google Aidan is working with advertisers to ensure their strategic goals are being met.

Here is what Aidan had to say about his time at QBC and how his experience aided him in his career:

"QBC provided one of the best learning experiences I had at the Queen's School of Business thanks to its practical nature and real-world applications. Over three years later, when looking back on the project I worked on, I'm actually able to see the impact of our work on the organization that hired us. They are still following the long-term business plan we created! I never expected I'd be conducting interviews with police officers regarding their job satisfaction, but it's these types of unique experiences that you look back on fondly once you graduate."

The magic of the sharing economy is not that I share something with you, it's that something shares multiple uses and different value to different people. We have to shift our focus from what we share to how the object, tool or resources share multiple purposes.
