Born in the small town of Savanna-la-mar, deep in rural Jamaica, Wayne Isaacs has come to Canada a long way from his birthplace. Raised there until the age of 11 by members of an extensive family, he found life very different when he was schooling in Toronto. He graduated from the University of Western Ontario and began his career working with a U.S. bank. He rose to be Vice President.

A success story, he was senior executive and director of more than 30 publicly listed companies and he’s co-founder, chairman and CEO of Delta Uranium Inc., a prospering, Toronto Stock Exchange-listed firm that now owns more than 1,000 square kilometers of uranium exploration land in northern Ontario. Isaacs was recently announced as the winner of the 2009 Harry Jerome Business Award by Toronto-based Black Business and Professional Association.

Isaacs has certainly come a long way from his humble beginnings, and says that you need ambition and passion to succeed coupled with skills, of course.
