Learn About My Career

Meaghan Daly is the President of Forward Vision Games.

I was born/grew up in: Kingston, Ontario and grew up in Edmonton, Alberta

I now live in: Toronto, Ontario

I completed my training/education at: Finance Degree from Western University

The technology my company created involves financial modelling. I use math and logic everyday in my life as I am problem solving every day. I solve small problems like a glitch with my website, and big problems like, product development or making a company financial decision. Most of my day is currently spent making people aware of my company, our great product and finding organizations who would like to work with us.

I have a degree in Finance and background in aboriginal issues. My first career after graduation was as an equity trader for major Canadian banks and investment firms. I was a trader during the financial crisis and that had a dramatic impact on me and eventually lead me to start my own company that teaches people how to make a financial decision and how to assess risk.

I am solving a very fixable problem no one has solved before. The solution will dramatically impact millions of peoples lives in a positive way.

I build financial capacity in people and communities. This allows them to fund their own dreams and the freedom to chart their own path forward.

I like to ski, play hockey, and spend time at my family's cottage.

Find a problem, get to know it well, and then fix it.
