Success Story- David Fascinato

“In October 2012, Will Thompson invited me to attend Treble Victor’s Veterans on Bay Street event. We shared a common background, having both served overseas in the military’s Influence Activities unit. With that experience top of mind, it was my intent to leverage my skills and attributes and break into a career in marketing communications. From the beginning, my introduction to the group and its members was an extremely rewarding experience. In the weeks and months following Veterans on Bay Street, I met with a variety of members, learning different strategies and approaches that would enable me to succeed in the marketplace. I was introduced to Nicholas Austin, a former advertising executive, who graciously agreed to mentor me through my transition and networking efforts. In November, Nicholas introduced me to Adam Wall, General Manager at Weber Shandwick, a full-service integrated communications agency. In January, Weber Shandwick hired me on for a three-month contract, and in May, decided to make me a full-time, permanent member of their team. Having successfully made the leap, it’s now my goal to support Treble Victors mission by giving back as much as possible to the group and its membership.” -David Fascinato
