Access by Design, Sustainable Materials & Building the Future with Cynthia Ene
Decisions, accountability structures, and systemic access shape outcomes long before metrics or performance reviews ever show up. Real transformation requires moving past slogans and big ideas to build the actual infrastructure that delivers lasting change. In this episode, host Andréanne sits down with Cynthia Ene , licensed professional engineer, founder of Coral, and board director with over two decades of experience across systems design, leadership, and governance. Cynthia shares her journey as an immigrant child finding her passion in engineering, why 2026 is a wake-up call for Canadian makers and builders, and how Coral is converting domestic seed oils like canola into bio-based polyols to revolutionize sustainable manufacturing and reduce petroleum dependency. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Infrastructure Driven Change: Why politicians and leaders fail on follow-through without proper systems. The Story Behind Coral Corp: Using bio-based seed oils to replace petroleum polyols in everyday products. Leveraging Canadian Resources: How local agriculture and canola production can solve supply chain challenges. Access by Design: Reverse evidence-based lenses on diversity, equity, inclusion, and governance. The Era of Makers & Builders: Why physical innovation and sustainable hardware matter in 2026.
