Lino saputo, entrepreneur

Lino Saputo's life story is both extraordinary and profoundly inspiring. It is the tale of a young immigrant who, though only a teenager, set about building a world where his father and his loved ones could once again thrive in dignity and devote themselves to their art. Through hard work and tenacity, spurred on by dreams of a better future, this young man went on to become one of Canada's most notable entrepreneurs, the leader of a multinational that numbers among the world's largest dairy processing companies and a recipient of the most prestigious individual honours awarded by his adopted country. How did he do it? Through this story of love, risk, new horizons, and--ultimately--legacy, we come to know the simple, reserved man who, in pursuing his dreams, accomplished exceptional feats.
