2025 Business Leader Award Winner

Matt Aubin Named a 2025 Business in Edmonton Leader

We’re proud to share that our Founder & CEO, Matt Aubin, has been recognized as a recipient of this year’s Business in Edmonton Leaders Awards.

Each year, the Business in Edmonton Leaders Awards celebrate individuals who are shaping the region through leadership, innovation, and meaningful community impact. Recipients are selected for their ability to drive growth, lead with integrity, and contribute beyond their businesses to the broader Edmonton community.

Matt’s recognition reflects not just his work across KEEN Creative, Blakhausens, and VentureOut, but his long-standing commitment to building businesses that create value, opportunity, and impact. From supporting entrepreneurs to launching initiatives like Climbing For Change, his approach has always been about more than business, it’s about contribution.

In Matt’s words, he is both thankful and humbled by the recognition. He views the award as a reflection of the people he works alongside, the teams that bring ideas to life, and the community that continues to support and challenge him.

This recognition is a meaningful milestone, and one that reinforces what we believe at our core: when you build with intention, good things tend to follow.
