# Michael Gord — michaelgord.com

> Michael Gord is the founder of Gord Holdings, the family office and permanent-capital apex of the group, and of GDA Group, the disruptive-technology merchant bank founded in Toronto in 2016. This site is his voice: first-person writing and first-hand case studies. It links to the rest of the group; it never duplicates it.
