Let's GrowSay Hi to our Professionals
Partner & President
Nathan is a keen investment professional whose passion was sparked by his family’s entrepreneurial spirit. He’s always up for a challenge, whether it’s leading operating companies, analyzing investments, or convincing his wife that the latest business book is a must-read. He believes that businesses have a responsibility to give back and make a positive impact beyond their immediate stakeholders. When he’s not tending to the Para portfolio, Nathan splits his time between Winnipeg and Kenora with his wife and two kids. They’re always on the lookout for new places to explore and delicious food to devour.
PARTNER AND VICE PRESIDENT
Chris is a man of many talents, and we’re lucky to have him on our team. He is actively involved in the management of key partner companies and thrives on cultivating lasting relationships. He has experience in corporate finance/banking and public accounting; and currently serves on several boards and committees in both Winnipeg and Kenora. We’re not sure how he manages to do it all, but we suspect he’s secretly a superhero. Chris is also a devoted husband, and dad to four fearless daughters and a giant Great Dane. We’re pretty sure his secret power is being able to handle anything life throws his way!
PARTNER AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE

With over 15 years of experience working with large public companies and small owner-managed private enterprises, she knows her stuff. Having family members who own small businesses, she understands the day-to-day challenges faced by entrepreneurs, giving her a valuable perspective. When she’s not overseeing Para’s team of number-crunchers, Bonnie loves hanging out with her husband and two young boys. You’ll often find them munching on cinnamon buns at the Forks or visiting polar bears at the zoo.
