Jyoti Verma moved from India to Calgary in 2022 with a dream and a determination to build a new life. Starting as a temporary production worker at CoolIT, she worked her way up to accounts payable specialist — and recently opened a letter that left her speechless: her payout from CoolIT’s employee ownership program, following the company’s acquisition.

Watch the video to hear Jyoti reflect on the challenges of immigrating to a new country, finding her footing at a company where she truly feels like an owner, and what it means when hard work is met with a real stake in the value you help create.
