Leadership Under Fire Tour: Liberation of Holland

POSTPONED

True Patriot Love Foundation is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of attendees at our fundraising events and educational tours. With this in mind, we have been closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impacts to determine how best to respond to the growing global concern of the virus’ spread. In light of this, we have made the decision to postpone the educational tour to Holland to a later date that is yet to be determined. True Patriot Love remains committed to supporting serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans and families in need during this unprecedented time. Thank you for your understanding and please reach out to Meighan Bell, Chief Development Officer, if you have any questions or concerns.

Philip Grosch
 
Philip is a board member for the True Patriot Love Foundation and the sponsor behind the Captain Nichola Goddard Fund Podcast.
 
Philip is a passionate supporter of veterans with a focus on supporting their transition and success in post-military careers. In addition to his role on the True Patriot Love Foundation board, he is the President of Treble Victor Group (3V is a Veterans organization focused on supporting members in their post military careers www.treblevictor.org) . He has been awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in recognition for his support of veterans.
 
In his professional career, Philip is a Consulting Partner at PwC, based in Toronto. Currently he is the executive responsible for the firm's global sales transformation program.
 
Philip has become a somewhat unexpected sponsor and joint-architect of PwC’s innovative and award winning leadership program targeted at top talent, mid-career women. The program started in 2013, when it became clear that although our entry level hiring was equal, we were losing top talent mid career women at a significantly higher rate than their male counterparts. In 2017, the program was expanded to include participants from other organizations. Today more than 400 talented women have graduated from the program. Our retention of talent is now close to 90%, and 21% of the PwC alumni have joined the executive (partner) ranks.
 
Philip is a 2016 Catalyst Canada Honours Champion in the Business Leader category, recognized for his exceptional corporate leadership and transformational contributions to advancing women and inclusion in the workplace. He is an Advisory Board Member for WNORTH and past advisory board member for WXN Canada’s 100 Most Powerful Women.
