As co-founder and chairman of FirstEnergy Capital Corp, Wilson has built Canada’s top energy-focused investment bank. An approachable mogul and renowned deal-maker, Brett is establishing his legacy as one of the most recognizable philanthropists in Canada.

Taking a step back from the day-to-day operations of FirstEnergy Capital, he has leveraged his personal influence and unrelenting drive to raise millions of dollars for various charities. As a savvy investor and as one of the stars of CBC’s hit Dragons Den, Brett uses his clout to create opportunities for those aspiring to follow in his footsteps.
