Nadia Hamilton

Nadia Hamilton was inspired by her brother Troy, a young man with autism, to build Magnus Mode – an award-winning company that uses tech to enable people with cognitive special needs to lead more inclusive and independent lives. The company’s digital step-by-step guides (Card Decks) are now available to consumers in over 72 countries worldwide. Since launching the company in 2012, Hamilton has received a number of awards including SheEO’s 2016 Radical Generosity Initiative and Startup Canada’s National and Regional Woman Entrepreneur of the Year award.
