Scott Purkis
CEO SimplyPRO Media in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I’ve spent more than 25 years in financial media, helping public companies communicate in a way that actually makes sense to investors. Over that time, I’ve worked with more than 100 public companies, and the lesson has been the same: clarity always wins. If people don’t understand you, they won’t trust you—and if they don’t trust you, they won’t invest.
I built SimplyPRO Media around that idea. I’m hands-on with every client because the details matter, and I like being close to the work. Before that, I co-founded Greenshoe Media and built strong partnerships, including with my friend Mark Bunting. Those experiences shaped how I approach strategy and execution today.
I grew up in Oakville, where sports like hockey, rugby, and football taught me to move fast and stay adaptable. Outside of work, I’m a dad, a sports guy, a traveler, and someone who enjoys giving back quietly whenever I can.
