eSTRUXTURE
Driving forces Having built the business from the ground up in Canada , Coleman ’ s plan for the future is to continue to be a consolidator in the market as well as invest and deploy resources across the country .
“ We continue to be a job creator both directly because our facilities run 24 / 7 and require a level of expertise and thus create high paying jobs , but also indirectly because every one of our customers brings high paying high-tech jobs with it to the markets in which we operate . So , there ' s a certain level of pride for us in the level of job creation that we ' re ultimately responsible for ,” said Coleman .
Lastly , eStruxture will continue to focus on its tenets of sustainability and diversity , with the latter relating to its workforce . Coleman said : “ 57 % of our workforce is considered diverse , with 29 % being female . 40 % of my executive team is also female . You won ' t find that in the broader telecommunications infrastructure industry , just because it attracts predominantly white males . And so , we want to change that . For me , eStruxture is about creating a legacy that all those involved can be proud of , that has a positive impact on the social fabric and the communities that we operate in .”
