The Iteration Lab

Max Chan – Leadership, Resilience, and Life After Cancer

Jarvis Consulting Group Season 1 Episode 2

What does effective leadership look like when life - and work - don’t go according to plan? 

In this episode of The Iteration Lab, Jarvis Consulting Group’s Co-Founder & CEO Mike Corbett sits down with Max Chan, SVP of Operations and Engineering for Enbridge’s Liquids Pipelines business, to explore leadership shaped by uncertainty, mentorship, and lived experience. 

Max reflects on his journey - from banking to capital markets, to M&A leadership, to helping lead one of North America’s biggest energy companies - and on how surviving cancer fundamentally reshaped his perspective on resilience, trust, and what truly matters as a leader. 

The result is a candid conversation about leading without all the answers, building inclusive teams, and staying grounded when the stakes are high.
