Bio

Topline AI
My name is Gordie Best, and I am based in Toronto, Canada. I am fluent in English and have a strong background in mechanical engineering and medicine, having completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Queen's University and my Doctor of Medicine at McGill University. Currently, I am pursuing a General Surgery Residency at the University of Ottawa. With over 10 years of entrepreneurial experience, I co-founded Boxit, a storage solution service that simplifies the process of storing and accessing belongings. I also participated in The Next 36 program, where my venture won the Outstanding Venture Award. My diverse skills include project management, team leadership, and event coordination, which I developed while managing staff at Clark Hall Pub and overseeing waterfront activities at Red Pine Camp.
