Eric Burton
President and CEO of Factor 5 Group
BA in Political Science, 2005
After graduating from Carleton University with a BA in Political Science in 2005, I spent 4 years as a municipal councillor in my hometown, served 4 years managing entrepreneurship and regional development for the Province of Alberta, and finally, have spent the last 6 years co-creating sustainable communities through economic development expertise and services as co-founder and CEO of Factor 5 Group Inc.
My experience at Carleton University provided the academic foundation, social skills and personal conviction to boldly challenge the status quo in pursuit of excellence in public service.
