2022 Canadians to Watch

CHOSEN BECAUSE:

Cody Green is a competitor. He shares a common goal with co-Canadian to Watch and Dan Park: disrupting a century of tradition in the Canadian used-car market. And if they disrupt one another along the way, that’s just business, right?

Green, founder and co-CEO of Canada Drives, Park, CEO of Clutch, each run online used-car businesses. The consumer’s entire experience, up to the point of taking physical delivery of the vehicle, is online, including financing approval and trade-in valuations.

Green, 37, came up through the car industry.

“I saw firsthand the biggest pain points for customers, and that was the catalyst for Canada Drives,” he said.

IN GREEN’S WORDS:

“Canada Drives’ mission is to be the easiest place to buy or sell a car. We believe we’re executing on that mission and expect in five years we’ll be serving more Canadians from coast to coast.”
