"Born in Toronto to immigrant parents, Jerry Kafieh grew up as the youngest of four boys in a home shaped by discipline, curiosity, and community values. His early years included Scouts, altar service, ice hockey, baseball, Air Cadets, and later the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves. These experiences taught him structure, teamwork, and calm thinking under pressure-skills that would guide his entire career."

As Director of NewTech Horizons Inc., Jerry has led major programmes, built PMOs from the ground up, and overseen portfolios for large organisations, including a top five Canadian financial institution. His leadership style blends structure with empathy, always focusing on the people behind the work."
"Alongside consulting, Jerry has taught project management for over two decades at Toronto Metropolitan University's Chang School, as well as for other organizations. His students value his practical approach, clear communication, and engaging story telling as Jerry shares real world experiences to elaborate on theoretical concepts. Jerry's career is also tied closely to service. He sits on the Richmond Hill Community Food Bank Board and has volunteered with the Canadian Red Cross during emergencies."
