  Nicole Kemp
UBC, MBA student

Hi,

My name is Nicole Kemp. I am in the MBA program at the Sauder School of Business at UBC. This summer I am working at Small Potatoes Urban Delivery (SPUD). SPUD is Canada’s leading organic food delivery service based here in Vancouver. They deliver locally-sourced, wholesome grocery and other household products throughout the lower mainland and southern Vancouver Island. The organization has a strong social mandate and focuses on increasing local economic self-reliance, preserving the environment, and contributing to the well-being of the communities in which it operates.

For my summer placement at SPUD I will be creating a strategic expansion plan for the company. SPUD is in a stage of growth and they are looking to create a detailed execution plan before proceeding into new markets. I am very much looking forward to the experience as I think it will be both challenging and rewarding.

Cheers,

Nicole
