Water touches every part of our lives, from the health of our oceans to the resilience of our communities. In this conversation, we hear from Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada’s Ocean Supercluster, who brings the collective voice of industries that depend on water—fisheries, energy, technology, and beyond.
Based in Atlantic Canada, Kendra is at the forefront of bringing industries together to build a more resilient ocean future.
Before joining Canada’s Ocean Supercluster, Kendra was a Partner at Deloitte and served as Chief Audit Executive for Deloitte Global. A sought-after speaker on innovation, the future of work, and disruptive technologies, she also serves on the Board of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. With global experience in Ottawa, Montreal, Australia, and Hong Kong, Kendra has called St. John’s home since 2010, where she lives with her husband and two children.
In this episode, she shares why listening to diverse perspectives is critical for tackling ocean challenges, how collaboration across sectors sparks innovation, and why the future of resilient business is inseparable from the future of our oceans.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
