“It is written in one of humanity’s great ancient texts that the first question you will be asked when you die is "were you honest in your business dealings?" Michael Aron - a trained Chartered Accountant, a seasoned, serial entrepreneur and President of Aron Strategy Advisors of La Jolla, California is an individual, a teacher - we can all learn from. He is someone that has structured his adult life to answer this question with a resounding – YES!!! What struck me most during my first conversation with Michael was his insight, deep introspection, and self-awareness of the great gifts he had experienced during his life’s journey by sharing this appreciation: “I am so thankful for all the opportunities that life and business have afforded me. This is the main reason it is so important to show my gratitude by giving back to the community and paying it forward.” After knowing Michael for more than a decade I know these are much more than just words for him – this has been a life choice he has mindfully chosen to live by each and every day by mentoring the next generation of young entrepreneurs and the youth of today. For over three decades Michael has acquired hands on life and global business experience in corporate finance, M&A, banking and entrepreneurship. In my hometown of Toronto, Canada - Michael co-founded and is an active director of Cidel Bank & Trust, an international private bank, and globally he has been the co-founder of various alternative investment funds. Since 2008, he has taken his many life experiences and applied them to building a contrarian, highly successful and diverse real estate portfolio. He co-founded and partnered a Canadian venture capital equity group - Igan Partners. Now the largest Health Tec VC fund in Canada. As a mentor to many budding entrepreneurs over the years he has been involved as a seed/founder investor in a wide variety of businesses globally including, life sciences, financial, consumer services, real estate, resources and banking. For me personally, creating a friendship where you support each other positively is a vital component of mentorship and for mutual enduring success. Michael is that friendly face that inspires respect, who can give you objective advice that is positive and honest, that will keep you on the right track. I have discovered during my own travels in life that these are rare attributes to find in a person. To be successful in business you need to find yourself someone you can rely on for advice and counsel. Someone who understands you and whom you can trust and respect. Michael Aron is that someone that gains great pleasure by being that type of individual and providing that needed helping hand when needed. ”
