As the story goes, the actor made his first big investment play buying ownership interest in Aviation Gin in 2018, after he tried the product and it was <em>just that good<\/em>. Celebrity-backed booze brands are as common as celebrity Ozempic prescriptions, but the difference is that Reynolds didn\u2019t just put his face on the product\u2014he also rolled up the sleeves of his superhero suit and got involved. Taking charge of Aviation\u2019s branding efforts, he produced cheeky, self-deprecating ads that put an unknown alcohol brand on the map (i.e., trending on Twitter) and drove profits up by 100 per cent the following year. In a spot explaining why his product tastes so darn good, a familiar voice explains, \u201cThe citrus fruits are misted using only the tears of Aviation\u2019s owner: me, Ryan Reynolds.\u201d Make that the former owner. He sold Aviation to the U.K. booze baron Diageo for US$610 million in 2020, but the new owners have kept him on as a brand ambassador.

Leading the $26-billion merger with Shaw Communications, the largest telecom deal in Canadian history, which will give the once Toronto-centric Rogers a national footprint (and a new rival\u2014the deal requires selling off Shaw\u2019s Freedom Mobile to competitor Quebecor). Staffieri divested non-essential assets to put the company way ahead of schedule in paying off debt from the Shaw deal.

He\u2019s been at work on that vision since assuming his role in 2021: last year, Magna launched a $470-million expansion of its EV capabilities, including a new battery enclosure facility in Brampton, Ontario, that will bring 1,000 new jobs. More than a billion dollars is funding three new plants in Tennessee that will create frames, battery enclosures and seats for Ford\u2019s new F150\u2014the auto giant\u2019s first electric pickup truck. And this year, Magna debuted its new e-motor, which Kotagiri predicts will put internal combustion engines out of business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligndefault \"><img alt=\"alt tag missing\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F9.-Mandel.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\"\/><figcaption class=\"w-full text-left\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Anthony_von_Mandl_CEO_and_founder_the_Mark_Anthony_Group_of_Companies\"><\/span>9.

In the \u201980s, his Mission Hill Winery helped put Canada on the oenophile map and, in the next decade, he launched Mike\u2019s Hard Lemonade, which was so popular people got into fist fights over it at the LCBO. In 2016 he created White Claw, the original hard seltzer, which caused a global frenzy and helped grow the alcoholic seltzer category to US$4.5 billion in four years. Von Mandl\u2019s latest swing is more sobering, cashing in on the US$11-billion alcohol-free market. For Gen-Z consumers (who are drinking far less than previous generations) and a growing moderation movement across all age groups, White Claw 0% promises all the complexity and depth of flavour without the hangover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligndefault \"><img alt=\"alt tag missing\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F04%2F10.-Volpe.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\"\/><figcaption class=\"w-full text-left\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Flavio_Volpe_President_Automotive_Parts_Manufacturers_Association\"><\/span>10.

Now he\u2019s showing those makers what to buy. He helped design the Arrow, Canada\u2019s first zero-emissions, lightweight, self-driving vehicle. The $20-million concept car was never meant to be driven off a lot. Instead, it\u2019s the APMA\u2019s clever showcase for the country\u2019s cutting-edge auto innovations, including a solar-panel roof from Montreal\u2019s CAPSolar and the world\u2019s first production-ready 3D-printed chassis, made from lightweight plastic, by Toronto startup Xaba. Since its 2023 debut, the Arrow has generated more than $500 million in sales for Canadian partsmakers that supply giants like Dodge, Chrysler and Porsche.
