Sean Willy runs one of the most consequential Indigenous-owned enterprises in Canada. As President and CEO of Des Nedhe Group, the economic development corporation of English River First Nation, he has applied commercial discipline, long-term ownership thinking, and strong governance to grow Nation-owned businesses across multiple sectors. His work offers a clear case study in how Indigenous enterprise, done properly, contributes to Canada’s economic strength.

About Breakthrough Nation

Breakthrough Nation spotlights people whose ambition, grit, and sense of duty are moving Canada forward. I’m Karen Restoule, and each episode features leaders delivering real results across regions and sectors.

About Series 1.

Series #1 goes deep with people who are redefining what major project development looks like in Canada. You’ll hear from people who have had to work hard for citizen buy-in, build investor confidence, negotiate through political uncertainty – and still deliver results.

They understand that project ownership is the foundation for long-term prosperity and lasting influence – and that economic sovereignty is built through action.

Series #1 is presented in collaboration with the Macdonald Laurier Institute.
