As the publisher of Maclean's, Canada's foremost weekly news magazine, Dr. Segal stays on top of the issues of today and tomorrow. And as senior vice president of Maclean Hunter Canadian Publishing, responsible for new media, he's directly in the centre of the Canadian business world as well.
Maclean's magazine, a 90 year old Canadian icon read by 2.4 million people every week covers the issues that matter to Canadians and Segal is able to draw on Maclean's wealth of information and analysis to probe, in a provocative way, relevant and top of mind questions.
Dr. Segal's impressive business credentials stem from far-reaching personal experience, ranging from directorships of such companies as IBM Canada, Union Gas, Sun Life Trust, and the Schneider Corporation, to advisory positions with the National Museum of Canada and the Department of Communication.
Holding degrees from McGill University, Yeshiva University in New York City, and the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Segal has spoken widely on issues affecting universities and education, both as professor of social policy, and as chair of the National Forum on Post Secondary Education, where he played an important role in shaping future policy directions.
His respected educational leadership capabilities are evident in his distinguished tenure as president both of Ryerson Technical Institute and of the University of Guelph.
Dr. Segal's lectures are intelligent, insightful examinations linking the worlds of education, publishing and Canadian business. His concerns have consistently focused on policies, both public and private, that will make Canada truly a country for the 21st century.
