The Character of the Entrepreneur: The Case of George Stephen
|
| Abstract |
The Scottish-born George Stephen (1829-1921) was a nineteenth-century Montreal businessman and financier. Stephen immigrated to Montreal in 1850, and by 1870 had become one of the foremost financiers and businessmen in the city. His business holdings included the Montreal Rolling Mills Company, a manufacturer of nails and iron bars, a partnership in the Sun Mutual Life Insurance Company of Montreal at its incorporation in 1871, and the Canada Cotton Manufacturing Company. In 1871 he was appointed a director of the Bank of Montreal, and by 1876 was president of the bank. In the 1880s he became involved in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway and served as the railway's first president.
