"We are incredibly proud to have not just one, but two Mazda Canada executives recognized on this year's list," said David Klan, President & CEO of Mazda Canada. "Amy and Bryan are driving meaningful change through their visionary leadership, innovative thinking, and extensive industry knowledge - all grounded in a people-first philosophy that inspires teams and strengthens our culture. Their proven ability to deliver results, navigate change, and shape strategy has given them a deep understanding of the organization and its evolving priorities. This recognition is a well-deserved reflection of their achievements to date, and I am confident their impact will continue to grow, both within Mazda Canada and across the broader industry."
