PERCY HOFF

PRESIDENT AND CEO
DSG POWER SYSTEMS, DIESELSERVICES.COM
BAC 1987

As a technical person, I decided that I needed some formal business education to take DSG Power Systems to the next level. It was probably the best move I ever made. I really enjoyed and benefitted from three areas: marketing, accounting, and strategic planning. With this education, came the notion of working on my business, rather than in my business. Using lessons learned in strategic planning, I was able to consistently adjust the business to deal with rapid changes in an industry driven largely by environmental concerns and climate change.

B.COMM. '18

I've always had a creative spark. Luckily, I've been able to showcase this in my career, in a few unique ways. By day I'm a Product Manager working with unique cross-collaborative teams of designers and developers to build software that makes an impact on its customers. But I don't stop there, I also work with a variety of artists to bring film projects to life. It's pretty busy, but thankfully I have a strong foundation in marketing and management from Edwards that allows my creative side to shine.

B.COMM. ’06

My degree has provided me with a solid foundation for aspects of my business including communications, accounting and finance. Being able to take a variety of classes helped me to discover my passion for marketing. I love being an entrepreneur. It’s very fulfilling to set and achieve my business goals. The growth potential is limitless when you’re working for yourself. The coolest part of my job is seeing my product in stores and hearing from customers about why they love our Kombucha and how it’s become part of their lives.

Saskatchewan has the largest and richest potash deposits in the world, and I love playing a part in letting the rest of the world know about our precious resource and its importance in ensuring food security worldwide.

B.COMM. ’14, MPACC, ’16

Every time I walk into WonderHub, I am filled with feelings of excitement and joy. The lights and sounds from the interactive exhibits make me feel like a kid again. Being part of an NPO focused on play and learning is truly fulfilling. MPAcc has provided a depth of knowledge in helping me tackle technical accounting questions, but it’s the breadth within the program that helps me think strategically. My time at Edwards has made me well-rounded not only as a professional but as a human being.
