Ottawa entrepreneur Ashleigh Kennedy founded Neurovine after seeing friends of her father – all former professional football players – suffering from long-term impacts of concussion-related neurological effects.

The company’s solution identifies hidden skills that the typical interview process might miss and then provides tips on training top talent and keeping employees engaged and productive once they’re on the job.
