The Halifax Business Awards celebrate the bold leaders and bright innovators in our community who are thriving in business. This year’s awards were all about “levelling up” and Mike’s leadership certainly showcases the remarkable progress and potential of our city and our local business community.
This recognition is a testament to Mike’s exceptional leadership, vision, and dedication to Davis Pier and the clients and communities we serve. Thanks to his guidance, the firm continues to grow, diversify, drive impact, and balance purpose with profit.
We have a reputation for tackling public sector and community challenges of every size—and for driving tangible social outcomes in the process. The result of Mike’s leadership is a long list of projects, partnerships, and impact that we are proud of and that have made a difference in people’s lives in Nova Scotia and across Canada:
We supported the rollout of COVID-19 testing and vaccination in Nova Scotia.
We’re currently delivering a provincial school lunch program that aims to support families and positively influence the social determinants of health for youth.
We are supporting government efforts to deinstitutionalize Disability Support Programs and empower people living with disabilities to thrive in their communities of choice.
Davis Pier won Business of the Year at the Halifax Business Awards in 2020. And that was just the beginning. This win reinforces Davis Pier’s strong leadership in the business community and signals our continued growth here at home and across the country.
“I am proud to champion our company’s social impact agenda and lead that transformation while remaining true to our values and mission to provide innovative solutions to complex government and social challenges. We are a private-sector entity and need to think about a sustainable business model, but never at the expense of doing what is right or focusing on how we can best help the communities we work in.”
—Mike Davis, President and CEO
