The lessons that Bob Deutscher (BComm’10) learned as a student at USask’s Edwards School of Business have proven to be valuable to him as an entrepreneur with a growing company. Deutscher is the owner and operator of Bob Deutscher Media Inc., a Saskatoon-based food photography business. After earning his Bachelor of Commerce degree at USask in 2010, he became a self-employed photographer with a focus on providing commercial food photography services for large companies. Along with his wife, Shannon, Deutscher recently built a new 2,100-square-foot studio and is now in the early stages of rebranding his company to reflect the changes that have been made to it over the years.
USask graduate Dr. Monique Simair (BSc’04, PhD’09) is an entrepreneur, scientist, innovator, and industry leader in the environmental consulting sector who is known for developing water treatment strategies for mining projects in Canada and around the world. Following Integrated Sustainability’s acquisition of her second company, Maven Water and Environment, Simair stepped into the role of Vice President of Science and Innovation, bringing her expertise in commercializing new environmental technologies into the organization’s next phase of growth. Simair has long had an interest in science; she studied microbiology and immunology at USask’s College of Arts and Science before earning her PhD in applied microbiology at USask’s College of Medicine. In 2020, she was honoured as one of the College of Arts and Science’s Alumni of Influence Award recipients.
