Currently, Taleeb is the Chief Executive Officer at an online marketplace for apparel and home goods.
Taleeb has a proven record of service to our community, and began volunteering at Vancouver’s Covenant House in 2001 where he established a mentorship program for at-risk youth. In 2003, he joined the Board of Directors on which he served until 2012.
