Kudjo enjoys the experience of life. His engineering work has allowed him to develop an acumen for government engagement, regulatory design, and international relations. His sporadic acting endeavours have gifted him the opportunity to work with, and learn from, Calgary’s community of incredibly talented actors, as well as more broadly known personalities such as R.H. Thomson, Jann Arden and Common.

Over the last decade he has had the good fortune of being able to travel to many places around the world. These experiences have helped affirm why Calgary is such a great place to call home.

Kudjo continues to work at being a better ally to marginalized groups fighting for equity and justice.
