About Me
Meet Dr. Rodel Paguirigan, Ph.D, MIoL
Managing Director & Principal Consultant
Hello, I’m Rodel Paguirigan—a strategic management consultant, public policy expert, and community engagement specialist based in Calgary, Alberta. My passion lies in helping small businesses and nonprofit organizations grow strategically, strengthen their governance, and build meaningful community impact.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of government projects, private institutions (including law firms and the energy industry), and the nonprofit sector. My experience has taught me that thriving organizations aren’t just built on good ideas—they’re built on clarity, collaboration, and a relentless commitment to impact.
Local Leadership & Impact
As the Executive Director and a founding member of an Alberta-based business association, I helped build a powerful ecosystem where entrepreneurs thrive through unity, innovation, and shared learning. I established DRexeL Strategic Consulting specifically to solve the distinct challenges faced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), promoting social entrepreneurship and inclusive business success across Alberta’s diverse communities.
Academic & Research Background
Driven by a deep curiosity about how governance and management shape organizational effectiveness, I have dedicated years to advanced research. My academic journey includes specialized studies in Public Policy, Administration, Leadership, Governance, and Community Research across premier global and local institutions, including:
-
University of Alberta
-
University of Calgary
-
Athabasca University
-
University of Michigan
-
Selinus University of Science and Literature
Today, I bring this unique blend of academic insight and real-world executive experience to every client engagement. Through DRexeL, I partner with entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders who believe in sustainable growth, ethical leadership, and community-driven success. Let's create the pathways your organization needs to make a lasting, positive change.
