Former CFL star Henoc Muamba putting business education to use

Toronto Argonauts linebacker Henoc Muamba celebrates after being named the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Canadian after defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 109th Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium in Regina on Nov. 20, 2022. Muamba didn't have much use for his degree in information systems over the course of his 12-year CFL career but now that he's retired from playing, he's finally getting to put his education to use.

Muamba was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo but grew up in Mississauga and went to St. Francis Xavier University before getting selected first overall by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, where he played for three seasons, in the 2011 CFL draft. The 35-year-old Muamba, who is also a commentator on TSN, said that the tech world “is completely different” than when he graduated from St. Francis Xavier.

Ekeler said he enjoyed walking the floor at the conference and taking in all the startups looking for investors.
