What Wes is known for
Wes Hall grew up in rural Jamaica, raised by his grandmother, and moved to Canada at 16. He started as a mail clerk at a Toronto law firm, then used a bank loan to found Kingsdale Advisors, which became one of North America's leading shareholder advisory firms, working on some of Canada's biggest takeover battles and mergers. His private equity firm, WeShall Investments, owns companies including QM Environmental. He also founded the BlackNorth Initiative to remove anti-Black systemic barriers in Canadian business.
On Dragons’ Den
Wes Hall joined Dragons' Den for Season 16 in 2021, replacing Jim Treliving and Lane Merrifield on the panel, and has been a Dragon ever since.
