I have interviewed Ali Bozorgzad, he is an executive Vice President/co-founder of 123Dentist. He has around 120 dentist clinics who’s head office is in BC, and he manages all of their activity and what they do. Every decision has to go through him before it goes into action. I chose him because I want to be an accountant and he was my best choice because my mom actually works at his office, so it was really easy to set up a meeting. From this interview, I learned that with his line of work, it is really important to make your workers and most importantly investors, feel comfortable and happy. I’m really happy I got to have this interview because I learned the basics of what this job offers and now I could be more prepared for when I hopefully apply for in the future.
